Check out "An Attribute Grammar for the Semantic Analysis of Ada," by
G.  Goos et al., Springer-Verlag LNCS Vol. 139, 1982.  Describes an
attribute grammar for Ada compilation units.  Ada's separate
compilation facility is not covered.  However, it looked like a good
place to start.  Also, they may have gotten further with it since
1982.

I also seem to remember that System Development Corporation (Paoli,
PA) had been looking into attribute grammars w.r.t. Ada, but I don't
know how far they ever got.

Incidentally, we also have the Cornell Synthesizer Generator in house,
and were thinking about constructing a semantic-directed editor for
Ada using it.  If there are others out there with interesting
applications of the Cornell Synthesizer Generator, we sure would be
interested in hearing from them.
