If it shows that it makes the code too clunky, we can add some accessor functions which assert that the size of register is e.g. sizeof(void*) and return a simple integer. They can then be used it cases where you know that the register must contain a pointer-sized value.
Rather than trying to test and convert them all, I just left them as strings. I only access one value (the PC), so I'm converting it as I need it.

I figured I might as well parse the whole message at once, in case new tests need the pieces.
