There was a problem hiding this comment.
Should we call this something like -debug-module-path? Even though it's just a frontend flag I think someone seeing it could easily assume it's a more general purpose option

Yes, I think that's better. That would also be in line with what I chose for the IRGenOption.
This new option allows the Driver to pass the path to a compilation job's own binary swiftmodule artifact to the frontend. The compiler then stores this path in the debug info, to allow clients like LLDB to unambiguously know which binary Swift module belongs to which compile unit. rdar://163302154
