As the subject says, but pedantically:

    int registerSize = IA32Registers.EAX.getType().getSize();
    byte[] byteOrderedRegister = new byte[registerSize];
    task.access(IA32Registers.EAX, 0, registerSize, byteOrderedRegister, 
0, false);

Is this a safe/correct way to determine register size?

If not, any other way?

Regards

Phil
