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).
