Hello,

I have been reading these forms for a short time. There seems to be  
consensus amongst some users that semantic analysis should not be done  
in the parser, but rather in a tree or other data structure. I am  
completing the final phase of a compiler for a compiler class. As of  
now I have the embedded tree grammars in my parser file. I was just  
about to start doing inherited and synthesized attributes in order to  
do semantic analysis on types etc... Is it advisable to do this in a  
tree grammar?



Thanks,
Steve McFarlin
