Snippet from Wikipedia: Volatile (computer programming)

In computer programming, a value is said to be volatile if it can be read or modified asynchronously by something other than the current thread of execution. The value of a volatile variable may spontaneously change for reasons such as: sharing values with other threads; sharing values with asynchronous signal handlers; accessing hardware devices via memory-mapped I/O (where you can send and receive messages from peripheral devices by reading from and writing to memory). Support for these use cases varies considerably among the several programming language that have the volatile keyword. Volatility can have implications regarding function calling conventions and how variables are stored, accessed and cached.
