What is wrong with this attempt to wait for a flag set by a handler?
uint8_t ready = 0;
while (!ready) { }
Answer: D
With optimisation on, the compiler reads the variable once, sees nothing in the loop that could change it and generates an infinite loop. Adding the qualifier forces a fresh read on every iteration, and a semaphore would be better still.
