The documentation is not clear. But your explanation is fantastic. Thank you
Andrew.

It's a big step to fully comprehend that reassignment to a local register
variable in GCC *does not work* to again make the register live for dataflow
analysis. The approach GCC has chosen is one of maximum surprise.

Thank you for describing a workaround: "create a new local register variable
each time and GCC won't optimize them away."
