FIXME: How are wide strings represented?
For wide string constants, the @code{TREE_STRING_LENGTH} is the number
of wide characters in the string, and the @code{TREE_STRING_POINTER}
points to an array of the bytes of the string, as represented on the
target system (that is, as integers in the target endianness). Wide and
non-wide string constants are distinguished only by the @code{TREE_TYPE}
of the @code{STRING_CST}.
FIXME: The formats of string constants are not well-defined when the
target system bytes are not the same width as host system bytes.

These nodes are used to represent pointer-to-member constants. The
