Commercial Compilers that Use Attribute Grammars


    + Intel's Pascal compiler
    + The GAG system from GMD in Karlsruhe, W. Germany.
    + Several responses mentioned Rodney Farrow's Linguist system. The
        concensus was that this was a tool for building compilers rather
        than a compiler itself.
    + Speculation was that compilers from Tartan Labs and MetaWare use
        attribute grammar technology.


University Systems (I didn't ask for this but several of the responses
    included mention of these which I pass along.)


    + The Cornell Program Synthesizer
    + The University of Lowell L-attributed translator
    + Aparse from the U. of Wisconsin


A public domain attribute pre-processor called PREP which acts as a front
end to YACC was also mentioned.
