Does a volatile variable never reside in cache? Does that mean that
when a volatile variable is accessed, nothing is stuck in cache, even the
areas of memory that are spatially local to it?
for instance:
struct _test{
volatile x;
char arr[1024];
}test;
if I use x, will the first part
of the arr string get read into cache or not?
