// Why is this bad? Take a look at Swift's sourcekitd.

Actually, if this were just a lib in Xcode, then instead of sourcekitd crashing, Xcode would crash all the time. Would you really prefer that?

You're always free to spawn your own process, which links with libclang, if you really want to and communicate with it over XPC. But then again if this crashed Xcode all the time maybe Apple would have more incentive to fix it ;)
