Re: volatile semantics

There is a "semantics of access". It is implementation-defined.

I think you're thinking of "what constitutes an access", which is implementation-defined, but is not the same of the semantics of an access.


The standard describes things like side effect and such in terms of *access*.

That's true, but this actually makes the model less useful, not more. There is no requirement on the implementation that it actually perform any side effects if they are not needed.
