A VHDL compiler based on attribute grammar methodology
Rodney Farrow, Alec G. Stanculescu · 1989
This paper presents aspects of a compiler for a new hardware description language (VHDL) written using attribute grammar techniques. VHDL is introduced, along with the new compiler challenges brought by a language that extends an Ada subset for the purpose of describing hardware. Attribute grammar programming solutions are presented for some of the language challenges.
