This commit propagates a change across many parts of the GCC middle-end to use build_int_cst(integer_type_node, cst) for creating integer constants, replacing older patterns that used NULL_TREE. This standardization aims to simplify the compiler’s internal representation and facilitate future maintenance and refactoring efforts.
