Just out of curiosity, which approach would you recommend to ensure
that a variable which is updated from an interrupt service routine
(and, implicitly, any other thread) will be read from common memory
and not cached in a register?
I know there are a few, but which would you recommend?
I think ensuring that memory access happens at every variable access
is a straightforward solution (and a good one, if access is atomar).
