"register int i" is merely an optimization, you can safely use
"int
i" instead. The "register" keyword only tells the compiler to
store
the variable in a CPU register where possible - it is not necessary
at all (most modern compiler will optimize it correctly anyway).
Crucial mistake in your example was the improper use of function
parameters and pointers.
