in the program below, I get changing printouts, when I press a key,
though not the key-code.

But when I remove the printf("") , then the printout won't change
on keystroke.

(1) why ?
(2) how do I get the key-code ?




#include <stdio.h>

int getkey() {
int key=55;
__asm__ __volatile__ ("
        pushl %%eax
        movl $256,%%eax
        int $22
        andl $255,%%eax
        movl %%eax,%0
        movl $3072,%%eax
        int $33
        popl %%eax
        ":"=g"(key),"=g"(key) );
printf("");
  return(key);}


int main(int argc,char*argv[]){

mh7:printf("%i\n",getkey());
goto mh7;

return 0;
}
