Since commit b6a5382217 (Ninja: depend on language module information
files directly, 2023-02-10, v3.27.0-rc1~502^2), the return value of
`cmCommonTargetGenerator::GetLinkedTargetDirectories` must account for
linked object libraries because they may provide modules (#25112).
These were added by commit b665966933 (cmComputeLinkInformation: track
OBJECT library dependencies, 2023-07-22, v3.27.1~5^2). However, targets
named by `$<TARGET_OBJECTS:...>` sources are also needed (#25365).
The latter were added by commit 22da18b995 (Fortran: Restore support for
TARGET_OBJECTS providing modules, 2023-10-27, v3.28.0-rc4~9^2) and
commit 035302b7e3 (cmComputeLinkDepends: also copy the target from
object link items, 2023-10-27, v3.28.0-rc4~9^2~2). However, their
approach added link entries not actually specified by projects. It also
incorrectly re-used `cmComputeLinkDepends::AddLinkObject` for object
library targets when it is meant for their individual object files.
These problems caused additional regressions (#25417). Revert the
implementation parts of those commits and leave behind an assertion and
comment to help avoid the mistake in the future. Instead, track targets
named by `$<TARGET_OBJECTS:...>` sources with a dedicated member.

CMake Tests Directory
*********************
This directory contains the CMake test suite.
See also the `CMake Source Code Guide`_.
.. _`CMake Source Code Guide`: ../Help/dev/source.rst
Many tests exist as immediate subdirectories, but some tests
are organized as follows.
* ``CMakeLib/``:
Source code, used for tests, that links to the ``CMakeLib`` library
defined over in ``Source/``.
* ``CMakeOnly/``:
Deprecated. Tests that run CMake to generate a project but not build it.
Superseded by ``Tests/RunCMake/``.
* ``Find*/``:
Tests for specific find modules that can only be run on machines with
the corresponding packages installed. They are enabled in
``CMakeLists.txt`` by undocumented options used on CI builds.
* ``Module/``:
Tests for specific CMake modules.
* ``RunCMake/``:
Tests that run CMake and/or other tools while precisely checking
their return code and stdout/stderr content. Useful for testing
error cases and diagnostic output.
