// This file implements class that drive and introspect deterministic finite-
// state automata (DFAs) as generated by TableGen's -gen-automata backend.
//
// For a description of how to define an automaton, see
// include/llvm/TableGen/Automaton.td.
//
// One important detail is that these deterministic automata are created from
// (potentially) nondeterministic definitions. Therefore a unique sequence of
// input symbols will produce one path through the DFA but multiple paths
// through the original NFA. An automaton by default only returns "accepted" or
// "not accepted", but frequently we want to analyze what NFA path was taken.
// Finding a path through the NFA states that results in a DFA state can help
// answer *what* the solution to a problem was, not just that there exists a
// solution.
