That all long predates shared. Shared should be used instead.

Hi,
I'm a bit confused.
First of all: From what I understand, volatile is merely a compiler
reordering fence. It has nothing to do with atomicity, nor
synchronization. Is this correct?
Assuming my understanding is correct: Why does DMD suggest using
synchronized to replace volatile statements? It doesn't even remotely
do the same thing, is much heavier, calls into the runtime, etc.
And further: How are people *really* supposed to prevent compiler
reordering in modern D2 programs (without using atomics; they are
expensive and wasteful for this)?
