1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
providing toolpath data for machining a workpiece with a tool along a corresponding toolpath, wherein the tool is comprised by a machine tool that is numerically controlled by a control device;
providing sample machine code;
providing a trial postprocessor software component for determining machine code using toolpath data;
determining trial machine code using the trial postprocessor software component and the toolpath data;
determining a sample code architecture of the sample machine code and a trial code architecture of the trial machine code;
determining characteristics of the sample machine code, the determining of the characteristics of the sample machine code comprising comparing the sample code architecture with the trial code architecture; and
determining a new postprocessor software component, the determining of the new postprocessor software component comprising incorporating the characteristics into the trial postprocessor software component.
