sammccall added inline comments.

}
+ // Add inactive highlighting tokens.
+ const SourceManager &SM = AST.getSourceManager();
----------------
I think this comment could be clearer, e.g. // Add tokens indicating lines
skipped by the preprocessor.

Comment at: clang-tools-extra/clangd/SemanticHighlighting.cpp:152
+ // Don't bother computing the offset for the end of the line, just
use
+ // zero. The client will treat this highlighting kind specially, and
+ // highlight the entire line visually (i.e. not just to where the
text

Three approaches seem feasible here:
1. clients that know about the specific scope can extend it to the whole line.
2. [0,0) or so indicates "highlight the whole line"
3. use a dedicated property for line styles (vs token styles)
3 is clearly better than 2 I think, it's more explicit. I don't have a strong
opinion of 1 vs 3, but if going with 1 I think it's a good idea to measure the
line as Haojian says, so we at least get a basic version of the feature if the
client doesn't know about line styles.

Preprocessor directives maybe? (Though these are easy enough for clients to
highlight with regex)
