"register" helps compilers in situations where normal optimizations don't give satisfying results, e.g. to aid in keeping often used variables or counters in registers rather than on the stack. It can also help with inling functions and can speed up parameter passing. GCC is one such modern compiler that does care, not sure about MSVC++. IBM's OS/2 compilers did (last time I looked some 5 years ago ;). -- Marc-Andre Lemburg ______________________________________________________________________ Business: http://www.lemburg.com/ Python Pages: http://www.lemburg.com/python/
