Hi Samuel,

Thanks for preparing the patch.  I ran the 64-bit test suite on Ubuntu 12.04 with no regressions.

I noticed there is no matching delete for m_register_infos (Linux/FreeBSD).  The attached patch proposes a fix by deleting on destruction and allocating on demand.  Note that EntityRegister::Materialize makes calls to ReadRegister which relies on m_register_infos in the call to GetRegisterOffset.  Previously, the following tests relied on m_register_infos living past the destruction (i.e. a side-effect of the unmatched new).  The attached patch handles this case while avoiding the memory leak:
    tools/lldb/test$ python dotest.py --executable /path/to/lldb expression_command/issue_11588
    tools/lldb/test$ python dotest.py --executable /path/to/lldb functionalities/register

I also added a comment for DEFINE_GPR to explain that the 0 size and offset will be filled in by platform-specific classes.  I'll commit this patch based on your review,

- Ashok

Somebody please review and commit.

Thanks
