Hi! Roger changed fold_convert* back in 2007 to not actually convert to void GIMPLE_MODIFY_STMT: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-01/msg00279.html as GIMPLE_MODIFY_STMT didn't have TREE_TYPE and thus converting it to void has been difficult. That == GIMPLE_MODIFY_STMT check has been changed into == MODIFY_EXPR during real tuplification apparently, but MODIFY_EXPR has a type and can be converted to void_type_node type just fine. Not doing so breaks e.g. following testcase, because fold_convert_loc (void_type_node, modify_expr); doesn't actually yield a void_type_node tree and if it is inside of NON_LVALUE_EXPR with void type, the NON_LVALUE_EXPR won't be removed.
