Well, modern compilers take register as a non-binding hint. Your
register storage specification for those loop counters will not make any
change. You have not looked into the resulting binary?

But if you use only /* */ comments and there's a // comment it looks
ugly :).
I've disassembled the code and it for me (I'm not a professional
assembler coder) it looks like it's stored in a register because the ebp
offsets are smaller and the gcc (4.0) wouldn't cause an error if you
reference them.
