Regrettably not. In C, it means "you can't take the address of the variable".
But the fact that a variable's address was not taken is obvious.
In C++, "register" variables can have their address taken.
Except in very rare circumstances peculiar to a particular compiler,
there's never a reason to use the "register" keyword in C++.
