TLDR
An attribute grammar is simple multi-visit if each attribute of a nonterminal has a fixed visit- number associated with it such that, during attribute evaluation, the attributes of a node which have visit-number j are computed at the jth visit to the node.

Attribute grammars and recursive program schemes II

TL;DR: It is shown that an attribute system can be translated (in a certain way) into a recursive program scheme if and only if it is strongly noncircular, which is decidable in polynomial time.

Design, implementation and evaluation of the FNC-2 attribute grammar system

TL;DR: This paper briefly describes the design and implementation of FNC-2 and its peripherals, and preliminary experience with the system is reported.

Composition and evaluation of attribute coupled grammars

Robert Giegerich
- 01 May 1988 - 
TL;DR: This work investigates whether a hierarchy of evaluation classes reaching from S-attributed to noncircular attribute couplings (ACs) are closed under composition, and investigates the complementary problem of reducing the attribute evaluation complexity of a given, monolithic phase specification by finding an appropriate decomposition into subphases which all belong to simpler evaluation classes.

Attribute Evaluation Methods

TL;DR: This paper surveys the main evaluation strategies for non-circular attribute grammars, i.e., passes, sweeps, visits and plans, and focuses on the iteration of evaluation passes for circular attribute Grammars.
Dissertation

On the Incremental Evaluation of Higher-Order Attribute Grammars

TL;DR: This thesis describes the automatic generation of incremental attribute grammar evaluators, with the purpose of (semi-)automatically generating an incremental compiler from the regular attribute grammar definition, and supports incremental evaluation of higher order attributes.

Computers and Intractability: A Guide to the Theory of NP-Completeness

TL;DR: The second edition of a quarterly column as discussed by the authors provides a continuing update to the list of problems (NP-complete and harder) presented by M. R. Garey and myself in our book "Computers and Intractability: A Guide to the Theory of NP-Completeness,” W. H. Freeman & Co., San Francisco, 1979.

Semantics of context-free languages

TL;DR: The implications of this process when some of the attributes of a string are “synthesized”, i.e., defined solely in terms of attributes of thedescendants of the corresponding nonterminal symbol, while other attributes are ‘inherited’, are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ordered attributed grammars

TL;DR: Ordered attributed grammars are defined as a large subclass of semantically well-defined attributed Grammar proposed by Knuth, which describe the control flow of an algorithm for attribute evaluation which can be part of an automatically generated compiler.
