+OBJECT_DEPENDS
+--------------
+
+Additional files on which a compiled object file depends.
+
+Specifies a semicolon-separated list of full-paths to files on which
+any object files compiled from this source file depend. An object
+file will be recompiled if any of the named files is newer than it.
+
+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 add_dependencies command (if one
+does not already exist due to linking relationships).
