Is there an equivalent of Java 'volatile' in C++?

Yes, the same problem exists in C++. But since C already introduce the keyword volatile with a different meaning (not related to threads), and C++ used they keyword in the same way, you can't use volatile in C++ like you can in Java. Instead, you're probably better off using std::atomic<T>...
