  'double' is 64-bit in x86 architectures (and in fact in most other
architectures too). If you want a 80-bit fp number, use 'long double'.

  As I said, the 'register' keyword is a no-op. I would bet that most
if not all modern compilers simply ignore it completely (except when
checking for correct syntactical usage, just for backwards compatibility;
after that check they most probably just drop it completely).
