Re: [avr-gcc-list] volatile bug in GCC?

That's a pointer to a volatile character. If you want a volatile pointer to
a character, move the keyword:

    char * volatile ptr = NULL;

>     while(ptr);

yields:

This is correct. It loads the pointer and loops until it's NULL. Did you
want to check to see if the character pointed to becomes non-NULL? Then do
this:

    while (*ptr != '\0');

The compiler seems to be generating the code you asked it to.
