Expanding on this a bit… the context is IDE integration via libclang. We follow
this approach only for the critical parts of libclang that can't run under
crash recovery, such as manipulating source locations, exploring the AST, or
deserializing data from an AST file. With parsing and semantic analysis, and
nearly all other areas of the compiler, we rely on assertions to catch problems
(and libclang's crash recovery mechanisms when things really go downhill).
