Abstract

In presenting semantic specifications to a parser generator, numerous connections and "hooks" must be presented, relating parsing and semantic code. This paper describes, in the context of a particular toolset developed by the author, a mini-language that can be used to specify these "hooks" in a way that allows the user to concentrate on each aspect of compiler generation separately.
