+List TARGET_OBJECTS in SOURCES target property.
+
+CMake 3.0 and lower did not include the ``TARGET_OBJECTS``
+:manual:`generator expression <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>` when
+returning the :prop_tgt:`SOURCES` target property.
+
+Configure-time CMake code is not able to handle generator expressions.  If
+using the :prop_tgt:`SOURCES` target property at configure time, it may be
+necessary to first remove generator expressions using the
+:command:`string(STRIP_GENEX)` command.  Generate-time CMake code such as
+:command:`file(GENERATE)` can handle the content without stripping.
+
+The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to omit ``TARGET_OBJECTS``
+expressions from the :prop_tgt:`SOURCES` target property.  The ``NEW``
+behavior for this policy is to include ``TARGET_OBJECTS`` expressions
+in the output.
+
+This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.1.
+CMake version |release| warns when the policy is not set and uses
+``OLD`` behavior.  Use the :command:`cmake_policy` command to set it
+to ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` explicitly.
