Notation

`G`

  Generator type

`g, a, b, c, d`

  Generator objects

`A, B, C, D`

  Attribute types of generators `a`, `b`, `c`, and `d`

`I`

  The iterator type used for generation

`Unused`

  An `unused_type`

`Context`

  The enclosing rule's `Context` type

`attrib`

  An attribute value

`Attrib`

  An attribute type

`b`

  A boolean expression

`B`

  A type to be interpreted in boolean expressions

`fg`

  A (lazy generator) function with signature `G(Unused, Context)`

`fa`

  A (semantic action) function with signature `void(Attrib&, Context, bool&)`. The third parameter is a boolean flag that can be set to false to force the generator to fail. Both `Context` and the boolean flag are optional.

`outiter`
