Transcription: When you declare an object to be volatile, you are giving a suggestion to the compiler to avoid optimizations involving this object. Volatile objects are usually variables whose values might change in ways that are not visible to the compiler. For example, your program might access the system clock. The exact treatment of volatile objects varies from compiler to compiler.
