I don't know how to do that, except by doing the does-not-crash test that you 
refused above. The only way I can trigger the change in 
ASTDeclWriter::VisitVarDecl() to make any difference is by using the 
_declspec(selectany), but that crashes without the fix and does nothing with 
it. I've tried static variables, static const variables, templated statics, 
inline variables, statics in functions and I don't know what the code actually 
affects other than _declspec(selectany) crashing.

Also, since I apparently don't know what the code in fact causes or why 
_declspec(selectany) crashes, I actually also don't know why the original code 
was inappropriate, other than that it crashes for an unknown reason. Since I 
simply reused the modules code for PCH, maybe _declspec(selectany) would crash 
with modules too? I don't know. But before we get to this, can we please first 
fix my patch for 10.0? I didn't check properly for -fmodules-codegen in D69778 
<https://reviews.llvm.org/D69778>, that's for certain. That can be fixed before 
finding out why exactly it causes the trouble it causes.
