Your blog is quite interesting and i'd surely be watching the feed for more articles like this. I'm particularly interested in the C standard vs implementation details that your articles have. It is true that volatiles are quite dangerous beasts, which is why we don't use them at all in our code at my company (and we produce humungous amounts of code for embedded devices). For code base, you could look at some of the devices which have open-sourced their firmwares (like Asus WL-500W routers) but in most of these cases, they are based on linux kernel which again doesn't use much volatiles (all the kernel developers detest it) Derek,
