Description

With that option, debug info might be embedded in object files, thus .pdb wouldn't be necessary.

Research direction

Start by locating the Windows build and debug-information documentation and the existing discussion of /Z7 and .pdb. Clarify whether the page should explain embedded object-file debug information and when a .pdb is unnecessary; done when this behavior is documented in the appropriate reStructuredText page.
