Thanks, but the only thing that could help me is

> cmpl $1000,-4(%ebp)        <-- Compare loop variable to 1000
> jle .L5                    <-- If less than or equalto 1000, jump
...

because I know nothing of Assembler stacks etc., so I don't understand
things like:

movl %esp,%ebp       <-- Set base to stack 
subl $4,%esp         <-- Decrement stack 4 bytes for loop variable

But I am programming in a high-level language, so there is mostly no need
to know anything about Assembler, but it could help sometimes, of course.
