"Allow LanguageRuntimes to return an error if they fail in the course of dynamic type discovery
This is not meant to report that a value doesn't have a dynamic type - it is only meant as a mechanism to propagate actual type discovery issues (e.g. malformed type metadata for languages that have such a notion)
This information is used by ValueObjectDynamic to set its own m_error, which is a fairly sharp and heavyweight tool to begin with
For the time being, this is an architectural improvement but a practical no-op as no existing runtimes are actually setting errors"
I need to think about what I want to do in this space more carefully - this attempt might be too heavy of a hammer for the nail I am trying to fix, and I don't want to leave it in while I ponder

llvm::DenseSet<lldb_private::SymbolFile *> &searched_symbol_files
Each time a SymbolFile::FindTypes() is called, it needs to check the searched_symbol_files list to make sure it hasn't already been asked to find the type and return immediately if it has been checked. This will stop circular dependencies from also crashing LLDB during type queries.
This has proven to be an issue when debugging large applications on MacOSX that use DWARF in .o files.
