Combining attribute grammars with object-oriented programming supports a new kind of declarative programming, letting developers build compilers in a highly extensible manner. By leveraging a base compiler, extended languages can be supported at a relatively low cost. Recent work shows the applicability of the technique to general-purpose programming languages such as Java. In this article, the authors illustrate the approach using a case study for domain-specific languages. They built an extensible compiler for the physical systems modeling language Modelica and leveraged it to support a new extended language, Optimica.
