An insn can be a PARALLEL, which can contain several different
operations executed in parallel.
An insn can be a SEQUENCE, which can contain several different insns
in a branch delay sequence.
These are documented in the friendly manual, q.v.

Because inst could be short for instance. Insn is fairly obvious if you
read GCC code.
top post.
Also don't

"insn" means "instruction". Inside of GCC, we talk so much about
instructions that it is a lot easier to say "insns", just like you
say "pls" instead of "please".

hi,
can group of instructions can combine to form a isns?pls tell what
exactly insn means.
in program, there is a outer for loop where it takes each insn in progm
and inner for loop, for each definition in the insn. that means there are
many instruction in a insn.
thanks and regards
