I believe returning `Line` is identical -- you should wind up with the same "begin" pointer for the returned string and a length of zero (because `Line` must be empty by this point).


================
Comment at: clang-query/QueryParser.cpp:37
+    Line = {};
     return StringRef();
   }

I don't have a strong preference, but I raised the point because it seems odd to explicitly clear a `StringRef` and then return a new, different, empty `StringRef` on the next line.
