It does internally call parser::parse, which states: \returns The [cppast::cpp_file]() object describing it. It can be 'nullptr', if there was an error or the specified file already registered in the index.
Therefore, simple_file_parser::parse actually also returns nullptr if the file is already in the index. A user of it will then expect that the parsing failed, when it actually succeeded.
