Re: MSDN volatile sample

Anyway, the sample illustrates very poor synchronization

There is nothing wrong with this technique if it used correctly.
Synchronization with events or other kernel objects brings the
high price of user space to kernel space trip. It is not uncommon
that you need to synchronize within single process only. In these
cases volatile variables may provide adequate solution.
