All GENERIC trees have two fields in common. First, TREE_CHAIN
is a pointer that can be used as a singly-linked list to other trees.
The other is TREE_TYPE
. Many trees store the type of an
expression or declaration in this field.
These are some other functions for handling trees:
tree_size
¶Return the number of bytes a tree takes.
build0
¶build1
¶build2
¶build3
¶build4
¶build5
¶build6
¶These functions build a tree and supply values to put in each
parameter. The basic signature is ‘code, type, [operands]’.
code
is the TREE_CODE
, and type
is a tree
representing the TREE_TYPE
. These are followed by the
operands, each of which is also a tree.
