I was checking this to see if Sparse was ready to support this.
I was a bit surprised because at first sigth GCC was doing as
it claims (typeof striping const & volatile on _Atomic types)
but your exampe wasn't working. But it's working if an
intermediate var is used:
_Atomic typeof(p) tmp;
typeof(tmp) __p = (p);
or, uglier but probably more practical:
typeof(({_Atomic typeof(p) tmp; })) __p = (p);

Go figure!

OTOH, at least on GCC 8.3, it seems to always do the same with
volatiles than it does with consts.
