It consists of three components: an abstract data type of attributes that guarantees attribute consistency; a Common Lisp implementation which combines demand-driven and incremental attribute evaluation in a novel way while allowing for attribute persistence over many generations of a program; and an attribute-grammar compiler producing code based on this abstract data type from a high-level specification. Experience with three major applications (one being the attribute-grammar compiler itself) confirms that the overhead in storing and accessing attributes incurred by the implementation scheme is more than offset by the gains from the demand-driven, incremental, and persistent nature of attribution.
