Re: [PATCH][RFC] Remove volatile from data members in libstdc++


Hi Richard,

This patch removes volatile qualifiers from data members in allocator
classes of libstdc++ and rope.  As mentioned in previous discussion,
their use is wrong.

honestly I don't remember the details of that discussion and, well, in general there aren't so many stupid things in the original HP/SGI code (rope, pool_allocator). Maybe it's because of the slightly different semantics of volatile in GCC and in the original SGI compiler?!?

Paolo.
