<p>Returns an opaque value representing the object files generated for those
source files. This is typically used to take single object files and link
them to unit tests or to compile some source files with custom flags. To
use the object file(s) in another build target, use the
<code>objects:</code> keyword argument to a <a href="Reference-manual_functions.html#build_target"><ins><code>build_target()</code></ins></a> or <a href="Reference-manual_functions.html#declare_dependency"><ins><code>declare_dependency()</code></ins></a>,

correctly. Please file a bug if that doesn't work for you.</p>
