DECL_SIZE (var) for size in bits / DECL_SIZE_UNIT (var) for size in
bytes (defined in tree.h).

I assume you want to pass to malloc() the size of the array ?
sth like this should perhaps work (haven't tested):
tree size = DECL_SIZE_UNIT (var);
tree malloc_decl = builtin_decl_explicit (BUILT_IN_MALLOC);
gcall *stmt = gimple_build_call (malloc_decl, 1, size);
This will create stmt, and to insert it in basic-block use one of the
gsi_insert_* () routines.
