Abstract
The problem of attribute evaluation during LR parsing is considered. Several definitions of LR-attributed grammars are presented. Relations of corresponding attribute grammar classes are analysed. Also the relations between LR-attributed grammars and LL-attributed grammars and between LR-attributed grammars and a class of one-pass attributed grammars based on left-corner grammars are considered.
