At least in cmake-qt(7) [1] this is documented:

If a |Q_OBJECT| or |Q_GADGET| macro is found in a header file, |moc| 
will be run on the file. The result will be put into a file named 
according to |moc_<basename>.cpp|. If the macro is found in a C++ 
implementation file, the moc output will be put into a file named 
according to |<basename>.moc|, following the Qt conventions. The |moc 
file| may be included by the user in the C++ implementation file with a 
preprocessor |#include|. If it is not so included, it will be added to a 
separate file which is compiled into the target.
