Port 9e995e12 Port 408f252b Up to now, each architecture defined all Register types as structs, with lots of redundancy. An often found comment noted that they cannot be classes due to initialization order problems. As these problems are gone with C++11 constexpr constants, I now tried making Registers classes again. All register types now inherit from RegisterBase, which provides a default set of methods and named constructors (like ::from_code, code(), bit(), is_valid(), ...). This design allows to guarantee an interesting property: Each register is either valid, or it's the no_reg register. There are no other invalid registers. This is guaranteed statically by the constexpr constructor, and dynamically by ::from_code. I decided to disallow the default constructor completely, so instead of "Register reg;" you now need "Register reg = no_reg;". This makes explicit how the Register is initialized. I did this change to the x64, ia32, arm, arm64, mips and mips64 ports. Overall, code got much more compact and more safe. In theory, it should also increase performance (since the is_valid() check is simpler), but this is probably not measurable.
