[bluefish@blue bluefish]$ cat > volatile.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
   volatile int x=0;
   char buf[20];
   printf("%s!! x:%x buf:%x\n", ((char*)&x>buf)?"ok":"no", &x, buf);
}
[bluefish@blue bluefish]$ gcc -o volatile volatile.c
[bluefish@blue bluefish]$ ./volatile
ok!! x:bffffce4 buf:bffffcd0
