Keep rebuildAst(true) as the full replacement-tree path, while rebuildAst(false) validates woven sources through clang-dumper without decoding its output into a temporary Clava AST.
Update the diagnostics-only ClangAstDumper construction for the rebased constructor signature.
Replace the parallel validateSyntax orchestration chain (abstract method on CodeParser plus duplicated setup in ParallelCodeParser) with a SYNTAX_ONLY flag consulted by the existing parse() path, so clang arguments, resources, parallelism, and error handling have a single source of truth. ClangAstDumper.validateSyntax now returns the error message directly.

Clava's
rebuildAst(false)path validated rewritten source by running clang/clang-dumper and then decoding the complete AST even though the rebuilt tree was immediately discarded.This adds a diagnostics-only validation path: it invokes the same clang/clang-dumper pipeline, drains stdout without AST decoding, preserves stderr and exit-status handling, and leaves
rebuildAst(true)on the full-parse path. The validator also receives the system resource directory required by the current clang setup.Measured impact: six paired runs show a median execution-time reduction of 11.1% (14.02 s); the mean reduction is 13.2%. The paired 95% confidence interval for the saving is 9.42–23.42 s (p = 0.0018). Full benchmark report.
