ABSTRACT

A simple alternative to language-based editors that employ attribute grammars is proposed in the form of a language independent program editor. This system delegates semantic issues to the back end of the compiler in question, yet resolves all lexical and syntactic questions so that lengthy recompilation after an editing session is bypassed. Finally a prettyprinting-like system is outlined that deals with the text formatting problems in a language independent way.
