34/* Change of width--truncation and extension of integers or reals--
35 is represented with NOP_EXPR. Proper functioning of many things
36 assumes that no other conversions can be NOP_EXPRs.
37
38 Conversion between integer and pointer is represented with CONVERT_EXPR.
39 Converting integer to real uses FLOAT_EXPR
40 and real to integer uses FIX_TRUNC_EXPR.
41
42 Here is a list of all the functions that assume that widening and
43 narrowing is always done with a NOP_EXPR:
44 In convert.c, convert_to_integer.
45 In c-typeck.c, build_binary_op (boolean ops), and truthvalue_conversion.
46 In expr.c: expand_expr, for operands of a MULT_EXPR.
47 In fold-const.c: fold.
48 In tree.c: get_narrower and get_unwidened. */
