^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is an undefined operation due to the use of i on both sides with
an auto increment on the right. There is no definition of the value of
i on the left and that value may change due to the declaration of i
as a register type or a non-register.

It is neither. It is a problem with the code.
