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

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.

"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
