Abstract We present an incremental semantic analysis strategy for use in language‐based editors. Its advantage is the low storage cost involved in achieving incremental semantic operation with a relatively small loss in response. The scheme, which involves limiting identifier attribute flow, is first described for a simple block‐structured language like Pascal, and then extended to more modern modular languages.
