   You didn't use i in the loop. The compiler is perfectly correct   
   in rearranging the way the counter works.   
      
   What it did was rearrange the loop so i is decremented to zero,   
   which makes the end check *free*, because the dec instruction will   
   set the zero flag.   
      
   If you want transparent code, turn your optimizations off.
