[cfe-dev] Doxygen 1.8.4 uses libclang to improve parsing

[Sergey Shambir]

One header file can be included from C, C++, Objective-C code (in same 
project) or with different preprocessor state. It's better to infer 
header file options from sources where it was included.

Also doxygen doesn't need to scan headers directly, they will be scanned 
by indexing API when procesing source files. XCode collects diagnostic 
for headers from indexing without guessing header options, too. But 
probably it guesses header options from inclusions in *.cpp before 
highlighting header, opened in editor.

Of course, platform-specific headers still suffer.
