#165301 - C lang. question
Has anyone ever heard of using the STATIC VOLATILE keyword so that the C compiler would not optimize a certain piece of code? Is this a proper usuage of this keyword? The example that was given was that if you wanted a delay loop, that you would use the STATIC VOLATILE in front of the subroutine so that the delay loop would not get optimized. I had never heard of this before, but I am no expert when it comes to using C.

                                             Because they are not equivalent            01/01/70 00:00
