Yes, but sometimes (as in my case) I need to know it :). I need to examine the object files as part of my link processing. Exactly _because_ it's an implementation detail, it would be nice if there were some way to retrieve it from CMake. I can file an enhancement request if that seems appropriate. I could use an OBJECT target if it weren't for the Xcode restriction that a STATIC or SHARED library must have at least one source file and can't consist solely of an OBJECT library. I'm hopeful we can throw away our MacOS builds entirely but until that happens...
