 Volatile pragma
 ---------------
 The `volatile`:idx: pragma is for variables only. It declares the variable as
-``volatile``, whatever that means in C/C++.
+``volatile``, whatever that means in C/C++ (its semantics are not well defined
+in C/C++).
 
 **Note**: This pragma will not exist for the LLVM backend.
