Attempts to access a volatile variable in gcc or g++ fails.

Sample code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    volatile int test_var = 0;
    int main()
    {
      __transaction_relaxed {
        test_var++;
      }
      printf("Changed variable value to %d\n", test_var);
    }

Compilation:
    g++ test.c -o test -fgnu-tm

Error:
    test.c:6:15: error: invalid volatile use of 'test_var' inside transaction
