Summary: Querying for (deprecated) LOCATION property prevents
expansion of TARGET_OBJECTS generator expression
Description:
Consider the following minimal project:
foo.cc
int main () {}
CMakeLists.txt$<TARGET_OBJECTS:foo>
add_library(foo OBJECT foo.cc)
add_executable(bar $<TARGET_OBJECTS:foo>)
get_target_property(location bar LOCATION)
Starting with CMake 3.1 above example fails with an error message ("CMake Error:
CMake can not determine linker language for target: bar") because the generator
expression "$<TARGET_OBJECTS:foo>" does not get expanded and thus the final link
line is empty.
Not querying for the LOCATION property fixes this.
This bug is not present in CMake 3.0.* or 2.8.*.
