genautomata is compiled into the build/genautomata binary in your build tree. It is then invoked during the build process. > 2. How and in what datastructure - is the dfa generated by 'genautomata.c' > persisted between two method calls - one of main() method of genautomata.c > and another of toplev_main() method of toplev.c The DFA is produced by genautomata and left behind in generated source files in the build directory .. see insn-automata.c and insn-automata.h as a starting point. These files are then compiled into GCC. Cheers, Ben
