<h3 class="section">11.8 GIMPLE sequences</h3>
<a name="index-GIMPLE-sequences"></a>
<p>GIMPLE sequences are the tuple equivalent of <code>STATEMENT_LIST</code>&rsquo;s
used in <code>GENERIC</code>. They are used to chain statements together, and
when used in conjunction with sequence iterators, provide a
framework for iterating through statements.
</p>
<p>GIMPLE sequences are of type struct <code>gimple_sequence</code>, but are more
commonly passed by reference to functions dealing with sequences.
The type for a sequence pointer is <code>gimple_seq</code> which is the same
as struct <code>gimple_sequence</code> *. When declaring a local sequence,
you can define a local variable of type struct <code>gimple_sequence</code>.
When declaring a sequence allocated on the garbage collected
heap, use the function <code>gimple_seq_alloc</code> documented below.
</p>
<p>There are convenience functions for iterating through sequences
in the section entitled Sequence Iterators.
</p>
<p>Below is a list of functions to manipulate and query sequences.
