        We may not like it, but for a C-compiler
the order of the type modifier and the type
identifier does not matter.

You want an array of volatile integers, don't
you?  Not a volatile pointer to an array of
integers.

My gcc (4.3.2) does not like the parenthesis:
        type-qualifiers.c:1: error: expected identifier or `(' before `volatile'
Given the code the error message sounds like a
corny joke just as helpful as "Keyboard error.
Press <F1> to continue."
