Summary:

It should not be necessary to override IDEIndexingClangInvocationLogLevel to find out why syntax highlighting / indexing is broken. Errors should be reported in Xcode so they can be fixed within the IDE.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Experience issues with Xcode indexing / syntax highlighting
2. Increase the indexing log level via `defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode IDEIndexingClangInvocationLogLevel 3`
3. Clear indexes for the project in Xcode Organiser
4. Search in Console or syslog for IDEIndexingClangOperation errors

Expected Results:

Xcode should provide indexing errors in a similar style to build & static analysis warnings/errors.

Actual Results:

Need to use Console.app / syslog.

Regression:

N/A

Notes:

N/A
