      Hi Helge,

In your load and store methods, you have code something like:

     T i;
     T v=*reinterpret_cast<volatile const T *>(&i);
     *reinterpret_cast<volatile T *>(&i)=v;

Shouldn't this be const_cast ?  I.e. something like:

     T v = const_cast<volatile const T&>(i);
     const_cast<volatile T &>(i) = v;

(Comments from language lawyers welcome!)
