[Preprocessor] Don't avoid entering included files after hitting a fatal error.

Summary

Change in r337953 violated the contract for CXTranslationUnit_KeepGoing:

Do not stop processing when fatal errors are encountered.

Use different approach to fix long processing times with multiple
inclusion cycles. Instead of stopping preprocessing for fatal errors, do
this after heuristically detecting an inclusion cycle.

Why not just always set HasIncludeCycle = true; if we've reached the max allowed include stack depth? Seems like that would always be due to recursive includes. But even if it wasn't caused by recursive includes, we still probably shouldn't descend into more included files anyway, right?

Nit: may as well just make this if (HasIncludeCycle) now that we don't have to call the function.

I wanted to support a use case like

#include "root-of-deep-include-chain.h"
#include "foo.h"

and still enter "foo.h". Setting HasIncludeCycle = true; without cycle checking will prevent it.

After more thinking now I want to support a use case like

#include "cycle.h"
#include "foo.h"

It seems in the spirit of CXTranslationUnit_KeepGoing to process "foo.h" despite a single bad include "cycle.h". And I think it is not too far-fetched to create cycles accidentally during code editing. If tools fail at such moments, it creates bad user experience and tools support is especially useful during erroneous situations.

I have an idea how to implement better cycle-checking (basically llvm::DenseSet<const FileEntry *> FilesCausingCycles), want to try and see if it's not too complicated.

Good point.

  • Keep indexing after include cycle.

That's the approach I had in mind when I was writing about it in code review.
But it turned out to be not my preferred solution. I'll post a different patch
shortly.

  • Different approach: don't enter already processed files after reaching max include depth.

  • Remove now unnecessary #include "llvm/ADT/DenseSet.h"

Thanks for the review, Erik.
