Abstract

The principles of the program generation environment FLR, which has been implemented at our department, are described. The system supports the reuse of already developed specifications of various kinds and was motivated by the idea to use the source text of already running programs again. This knowledge of parts of programs or documents, which were specified already, is stored as attributed grammar rules in a database. New documents can be composed in an interactive way using this database. It is demonstrated to use FLR to generate programs and Attribute Grammars.
