Abstract
In this paper, we present an approach which integrates the classification and inheritance concepts into both the specification and generation of compiler and compiling process. The nodes in a parse tree are deemed as objects whose properties are defined in a class hierarchy derived from a restricted CFG directly. The inheritance in the class hierarchy can help reduce both the coding (or specification) effort for the properties definition and the parse tree for analysis.Keywords
