Your program has undefined behavior, the volatile may change the output, but it doesn't change the fact that its behavior is undefined.

The problem is that the affect of the increment operator can take place either before or after the affect of the assignment. The compiler can order the affects any way that it desires between sequence points.

You might want to read up on sequence points: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_point
