The Rust compiler’s backend has been updated to use build_int_cst(integer_type_node, cst) instead of build_int_cst(NULL_TREE, cst). This change standardizes the creation of integer constants, with the goal of removing the build_int_cst_type function in the future and improving code maintainability.
