Hmm.  Why did we have it this way (not using the macro and such)?

-  class Verification : public _ValueObj /*VALUE_OBJ_CLASS_SPEC*/, public BlockClosure {
+  class Verification : public BlockClosure {

> Now you declare new "new()" and "delete()" operators in the LIRGenerator which will actually hide the corresponding operators from the base classes. You also provide no implementation for the new operators in LIRGenerator. So which new/delete operators will be actually used for allocating new LIRGenerator instances?
