"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.
