'volatile' may also help. The MSDN C++ Language Reference states, "Objects declared as volatile are not used in optimizations because their value can change at any time"

Volatile won't help here, the idea behind volatile is that if you need to read/write into the some variables of one process from another process (after passing address by some IPC means), compiler/optimizer won't know that you plan to use the variable in such a way and may put it into the register. So volatile is just used to prevent it from happening.
