Hi All,
As far as I know, a variable with "register" storage class will probably be optimized to be
having no RAM storage but only staying in a CPU register. A "volatile" variable will only be read by RAM access. But what about a variable declared as volatile with register storage class?

"register" is advisory, it is up to the compiler to ultimately decide what to choose. "volatile" is mandatory, otherwise your program will break or work funny. You probably should read Derek Jones' The New C Standard (http://www.knosof.co.uk/cbook/cbook.html)
