See tree_node_structure_for_code and tree_node's GTY marker for tag.
e.g:
struct tree_string GTY ((tag ("TS_STRING"))) string;
Says this is used when the tag is TS_STRING.
and TS_STRING is used for tree code STRING_CST:
case STRING_CST: return TS_STRING;
For front-end specific trees there is a front-end specific function
which does the mapping for those too.
