I'm wondering since there is that sentence "What constitutes an access
to an object that has volatile-qualified type is
implementation-defined."

I should add that I do not know of any C implementations that take meaningful advantage of the freedom that this sentence appears to offer.

Such a compiler would likely be useless for embedded systems and operating systems.
