Then it (understandably) becomes UB to attempt to get the pointer.
(It also probably isn't stored in a register, since the keyword is just asking the compiler nicely.)

The meaning of the 'register' keyword has changed over time to just "it's illegal to take the address of this item":

Don't know what's the idea behind not allowing to take the address of a value though.
