Abstract
Thus far, the basic analyzer components which comprise of the lexical analyzer and parser, are in place. Recognition of program structure is relatively simple, and in fact, has been shown in the previous two chapters to be highly amenable to automated construction. The objective of the next stage of program analysis is to extract program semantics so as to enable code generation. This requires appropriate semantic information to be recorded and subsequently processed.
