//  This file defines framework for executing clang frontend actions.
//
//  The framework can be extended to support different execution plans including
//  standalone execution on the given TUs or parallel execution on all TUs in
//  the codebase.
//
//  In order to enable multiprocessing execution, tool actions are expected to
//  output result into the ToolResults provided by the executor. The
//  `ToolResults` is an interface that abstracts how results are stored e.g.
//  in-memory for standalone execution or on-disk for large-scale execution.
//
//  New executors can be registered as ToolExecutorPlugins via the
//  `ToolExecutorPluginRegistry`. CLI tools can use
//  `createExecutorFromCommandLineArgs` to create a specific registered executor
//  according to the command-line arguments.
