Original shorter version of Domain-specific program profiling and its application to attribute grammars and term rewriting (SLE 2012 SI)
T5B: Language Description Analysis
- The paper analyses properties of attribute-grammar evaluation (driven by profiling) to support understanding and optimisation.
T5F: Performance
- Profiling-based abstractions are used to reason about evaluation costs and performance bottlenecks.
T3A: Meta-languages
- Attribute grammars are the underlying language-definition formalism being studied and characterised.
