Declaring an object as volatile

Question

If you declare a member variable as volatile in Java, does this mean that all the object\'s data is stored in volatile memory, or that the reference to the object is stored in v

Answer 1

This would only make the object reference volatile. In order to make obj.i and obj.c also volatile you have to make them volatile explicitly

class C{
   volatile int i = 0;
   volatile char c = 'c';
}
