volatile keyword

Hi everybody,

I was just wondering why VLC doesn't make more use of the volatile keyword. 
For instance with the thread status variables like b_die, b_error...
I'm asking this because I already lost some time with the DirectX plugin 
where I'm using such variables and the compiler was optimizing a little bit 
too much and putting these in registers...

Cheers,
