CMake：将可执行文件与链接到共享库的 OBJECT 目标链接时未定义的符号

Question

总而言之，我有一个对象目标 (a_object)，它是链接到共享库 (base) 的 PUBLIC。对象目标编译得很好，但是当我将该对象目标链接到可执行文件 (main) 时，在构建该可执行文件时，base 库中的函数出现未定义符号错误。

构建main时的错误日志

[build] lld-link: error: undefined symbol: class std::basic_istream<char, struct std::char_traits<char>> & __cdecl base::operator>>(class std::basic_istream<char, struct std::char_traits<char>> &, class base::line &)
[build] >>> referenced by C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30133\include\iterator:290
[build] >>>               src/module/CMakeFiles/a_object.dir/a.cpp.obj:(private: void __cdecl std::istream_iterator<class base::line, char, struct std::char_traits<char>, __int64>::_Getval(void))

单独构建a_object 时没有出错。从Cmake documentation on linking Object target，我认为只需将a_object 链接到main 就足够了，我错过了什么吗？

将文件直接写入add_library 而不是target_sources 可能会起作用。 另外，编写一个全局 CMakeLists.txt 文件并将所有内容链接到那里。
