ReadRaw16 performs a raw read operation on a volatile SHORT value without any memory ordering or atomicity semantics.
Source[in] A pointer to the volatile SHORT variable to read from.
Returns the SHORT value read from the specified memory location.
The ReadRaw16 function performs a raw memory read operation on a 16-bit value without compiler optimization barriers or synchronization guarantees. It's useful on strongly-ordered architectures where precise control over memory access is required.
