By "a binary logical operator" presumably you mean the result of
gcc_jit_context_new_comparison.  This has type GCC_JIT_TYPE_BOOL.

This defines the type of the resulting rvalue.  I believe you can use
this as another way of doing a cast.

It depends on the result_type passed in to gcc_jit_context_new_unary_op.

This defines the type of the resulting rvalue.  As above you can use
this as another way of doing a cast.

Correct.
