The diagnostic pragma worked, but it affects the whole file, doesn't it?
Declaring the variable as volatile also satisfied GCC. This has the
advantage of being fine grained, but it also unnecessarily turns off
all optimizations involving that variable, not that I think this
matters.
Which approach is better?
