40 /* Change of width--truncation and extension of integers or reals--
41 is represented with NOP_EXPR. Proper functioning of many things
42 assumes that no other conversions can be NOP_EXPRs.
44 Conversion between integer and pointer is represented with CONVERT_EXPR.
45 Converting integer to real uses FLOAT_EXPR
46 and real to integer uses FIX_TRUNC_EXPR.
48 Here is a list of all the functions that assume that widening and
49 narrowing is always done with a NOP_EXPR:
50 In convert.c, convert_to_integer.
51 In c-typeck.c, build_binary_op (boolean ops), and
52 c_common_truthvalue_conversion.
53 In expr.c: expand_expr, for operands of a MULT_EXPR.
54 In fold-const.c: fold.
55 In tree.c: get_narrower and get_unwidened. */

62 converted to type TYPE. The TREE_TYPE of the value

64 conversions; callers should filter out those that are
