Because inst could be short for instance.  Insn is fairly obvious if you 
read GCC code.

Also don't

insn

[aparna]

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

"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".

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.
