I wonder if this should instead be:

   while ((param = inst._parameters.iter()) != NULL) {
-    OperandForm* opForm = (OperandForm*) inst._localNames[param];
+    OpClassForm* opForm = inst._localNames[param]->is_opclass();
+    assert(opForm != NULL, "sanity");
     encoding->add_parameter(opForm->_ident, param);
   }

So, wait. Why do we redefine STATIC_ASSERT? Should we instead make the globally available
STATIC_ASSERT right if it has problems?

I think the canonical way to perform overflow-sensitive addition involves checking against INT_MAX.
Or, in this case, Expr::Max. Instead of this "long long" and STATIC_ASSERT mess, we can say:

int Expr::compute_max(const Expr *c1, const Expr *c2) {
  int v1 = c1->_max_value;
  int v2 = c2->_max_value;

  // Check for overflow without producing UB. If v2 is positive
  // and not larger than Max, the subtraction cannot underflow.
  assert(0 <= v2 && v2 <= Expr::Max, "sanity");
  if (v1 > Expr::Max - v2) {
    return Expr::Max;
  }

  return v1 + v2;
}

Thanks,
