The Fortran compiler’s code generation for updating data within descriptors has been refactored. Instead of manually constructing a MODIFY_EXPR using the result of a data getter, this change utilizes dedicated setter functions in trans-expr.cc and trans-intrinsic.cc. This improves code clarity and maintainability by using the intended API for descriptor data manipulation.
