Look higher up in the DEBUG_TCGV section and you'll find

typedef struct
{
     int i32;
} TCGv_i32;

typedef struct
{
     int i64;
} TCGv_i64;

which are separate types for type checking purposes.

Both are "int" because at the TCG level these are register numbers. 
They are separate types because they indicate 32-bit or 64-bit 
quantities in the compiled code.
