It comes from 08c5a7b8fda1b97df9d027d1ac096f93edeb6c2f . AFAICT -fmodules-codegen is a superset of -building-pch-with-obj, the important difference is that -building-pch-with-obj decides which code will be shared while building TUs, while -fmodules-codegen decides while building the PCH. This in practice means that -building-pch-with-obj shares only code that would be actually used, which makes the result easier to use - using PCH with -fmodules-codegen pretty much requires something like -Wl,--gc-sections, otherwise there are many undefined references to internal symbols from other libraries caused by emitted code that isn't actually used. Since -building-pch-with-obj is internally used by clang-cl /Yc , -fmodules-codegen cannot be a drop-in replacement for it, unless the Microsoft linker automatically discards unused symbols (I don't know, no idea about Windows stuff).
