Summary0014044: The Xcode generator produces an invalid target that will not get linked if it consists only of objects from object libraries
DescriptionExample code snippet:

  ADD_LIBRARY(foo OBJECT
    foo.cc
    )
  ADD_LIBRARY(bar SHARED
    $<TARGET_OBJECTS:foo>
    )

"$ xcodebuild -target bar" will compile foo.obj but libbar.dylib doesn't get linked.

As a workaround,

  ADD_LIBRARY(foo OBJECT
    foo.cc
    )
  ADD_LIBRARY(bar SHARED
    dummy.cc
    $<TARGET_OBJECTS:foo>
    )

does work as expected (links dummy.obj and foo.obj to a libbar.dylib).

This is a known limitation of Xcode. Documentation was added for this limit a few months ago:
