Wonderful. Will you accept a patch then to add all the missing "register" adornments (because that is what they are) for the rest of the variables whose address is not taken? And please, point out to me another opensource package that still uses register, because I am stressed to find one.
Oh, there are plenty (gmake, binutils, libffi, zlib, glibc, gcc), even ignoring the gccism which allows denoting the exact register to use: long int r0 __asm__ ("r0"). Not that it changes anything. These are all relatively old codebases, it used to mean something back then. Thanks, PM
