Can anyone give me pointers to language prototyping/description systems? The only available ones I am aware of are: HLP - The Helsinki Language Processor I think a copy of this was posted to the net a while back. Attribute grammar based, uses a stack evaluator. GAG - Available from the University of Karlsruhe (?) Also attribute grammar based, uses a general deterministic algorithm for attribute evaluation Qparser - Commercially available, distributor unknown, looks similar to HLP Kodiyak/AG - Available from the U of Minnesota Attribute grammar based, uses a general deterministic algorithm for attribute evaluation Robert Herndon ...!ihnp4!umn-cs!herndon herndon@umn-cs herndon.umn-cs@csnet-relay.ARPA Dept. of Computer Science, Univ. of Minnesota, 136 Lind Hall, 207 Church St. SE Minneapolis, MN 55455

Here are some more language Prototyping Systems: CMU's PQCC PQCC = production quality compiler compiler I think the pqcc is used at tartan labs. SDC's SSAGS SSAGS = Syntax and Semantic Analysis Generation System see SIGPLAN 84 Compiler Construction Proceedings for a paper call "Tree Transformations, techniques and experiences". (SSAGS is my favorite, because I wrote part of it :-)
