@ -8051,7 +8051,7 @@ Speaking of concurrency, should there be a note about the dangers of std::atomic
A lot of people, myself included, like to experiment with std::memory_order, but it is perhaps best to keep a close watch on those things in production code.

It should definitely mention that `volatile` does not provide atomicity, does not synchronize between threads, and does not prevent instruction reordering (neither compiler nor hardware), and simply has nothing to do with concurrency.
