44 Converting integer to real uses FLOAT_EXPR
45 and real to integer uses FIX_TRUNC_EXPR.

48 narrowing is always done with a NOP_EXPR:

51 c_common_truthvalue_conversion.
52 In expr.c: expand_expr, for operands of a MULT_EXPR.
53 In fold-const.c: fold.
54 In tree.c: get_narrower and get_unwidened. */
