There are tests in the testsuite to ensure that when deserializing a type from a module, only the bare minimum is actually deserialized. For example: a.h class A {}; b.h class B { A a; }; When emitting debug info for B we need to emit an external reference for A instead of recursively emitting A (and thus “illegally” deserializing A from a.pcm). > > Mechanically, the patch looks fine/exactly what you'd expect.
