The tree-ssa-strlen pass in GCC now uses gimple_build and gimple_convert_to_ptrofftype for constructing GIMPLE statements, replacing older functions like convert_to_ptrofftype and force_gimple_operand_gsi. This simplifies the code and improves maintainability by using the preferred GIMPLE building APIs. This change is part of ongoing efforts to modernize and streamline GCC’s internal APIs.
