| OBJECT_DEPENDS |
| -------------- |
| |
| Additional files on which a compiled object file depends. |
| |
| Specifies a :ref:`semicolon-separated list <CMake Language Lists>` of full-paths to |
| files on which any object files compiled from this source file depend. |
| On :ref:`Makefile Generators` and the :generator:`Ninja` generator an |
| object file will be recompiled if any of the named files is newer than it. |
| :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` and the :generator:`Xcode` generator |
| cannot implement such compilation dependencies. |
| |
| This property need not be used to specify the dependency of a source |
| file on a generated header file that it includes. Although the |
| property was originally introduced for this purpose, it is no longer |
| necessary. If the generated header file is created by a custom |
| command in the same target as the source file, the automatic |
| dependency scanning process will recognize the dependency. If the |
| generated header file is created by another target, an inter-target |
| dependency should be created with the :command:`add_dependencies` |
| command (if one does not already exist due to linking relationships). |
