The Initial State record only occurs once in the Compiled Grammar Table file. It will contain the initial states for both the DFA and LALR algorithms. The record is preceded by a byte field contains the value 73, the ASCII code for the letter 'I'.
| Item | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DFA | Integer | The initial state in the Deterministic Finite Automata table. Normally, due to how the generation algorithm is implemented, this value should be 0 |
| LALR | Integer | The initial state in the LALR state table. Like the DFA state table, this value should normally be 0. |
