kousikk added a comment. I discussed with @klimek about this. The conclusion we arrived at was:
Allowing override of `resource-dir` for all tools is not something we should do (for reasons that @klimek has outlined above). However, the dependency scanner tool can choose to override `resource-dir`, iff we are sure that it would work across different versions of clang. And my reasoning for why `resource-dir`'s behaviour when overridden in `clang-scan-deps` will remain the same across different versions of clang is: 1. The tool runs only the preprocessor. The preprocessor spec hasn't changed in a backwards incompatible way as far as I know. 2. In addition to (1), the tool doesn't use anything other than header files from `resource-dir`, for the purpose of dependency scanning from the preprocessor.
