Experimental functional realization of attribute grammar system

Abstract

In this paper we present an experimental functional realization of attribute grammar(AG) system for personal computers. For AG system functioning only Turbo Prolog compiler is required. The system functioning is based on a specially elaborated metalanguage for AG description, universal syntactic and semantic constructors. The AG system provides automatic generation of target compiler (syntax--oriented software) using Turbo Prolog as object language.
