“…Their approach allows the Object Constraint Language (OCL) to be used together with RAGs, for example to use attributes from within OCL constraints. They discuss that although OCL and RAGs both support static language semantics, their roles are complementary, with RAGs being well suited for computations distributed over complex nested syntactic structures and to compute complex values, whereas OCL is well suited for declaring constraints and providing user feedback [4].…”

“…• a comparative evaluation of conciseness and performance (Section 4) Our experiments indicate that JavaRAG is up to ten times slower than JastAdd when running in steady state on a warmed up JVM, but only about twice as slow as JastAdd in JVM startup mode, i.e., when running from the command line. We think this performance is acceptable in many practical cases.…”

Reference attribute grammars (RAGs) is a powerful formalism for developing modular extensible compilers and program analysis tools. This paper presents JavaRAG, an implementation of RAGs as a Java library that is independent of the abstract syntax tree structure. This makes it possible to extend legacy compilers implemented in Java with RAG computations. We have evaluated the approach by integrating with EMF, ANTLR, and hand-built abstract syntax trees, and we compare performance and specification size with JastAdd and Kiama which are other RAG-based tools. Our JavaRAG library is open source and is used in a compiler for the dataflow language CAL.
