I think it would be useful to distinguish between genuine errors (e.g. syntax error in header) and an error that occurs because of some issues in the internal parsing machinery. The latter to me seems more a case of RUNTIME_ERROR than CLANG_ERROR. I have pointed out some examples in the code.

Closing this PR. Will recreate new one.
