Any particular reason for this name? Naively, I have no idea what this does or how it relates to code generation.

Any reason not to use the typical lit tests for this? It seems like you should be able to add a Driver test that does -### and looks for the expected pass-down flags. And then you can add a -cc1 test to ensure that the -fcgl flag isn't supported there.

I have no idea what this name is short for… code gen language?… likeness?… lobotomy?…

We have this flag in DXC, and it is a useful shorthand.

Don’t know if @python3kgae or @pow2clk know what the actual abbreviation is.

This really has nothing to do with DXIL as a target, and will apply to any HLSL target out of clang. A more accurate description might be that it disables all optimization and code generation passes.

Can we pick a more descriptive name, or would that make portability too much of a challenge? Could we have a more descriptive name and then have -fcgl be an alias for it, or is that overkill because this is a rarely-used option?

Sure. I'll add a more descriptive name and alias fcgl to it.

It is something like frontend codeGen listing if I remember correctly.

I'll use -### to add a lit test.

Add emit_pristine_llvm to make fcgl easier to understand.
Also change unit test to lib test.
