Abstract

Attribute grammar systems do not allow users to write new functions for composing attribute grammars. When attribute grammars are embedded in a more general lazy functional programming language, it becomes possible to make many design patterns in attribute grammar programming explicit. We illustrate this principle by building up a rich set of combinators for building composite attribute grammars out of smaller components.
