Hi all,

I am new to this list and hope its the right point of contact for feature/enhancement proposals, if not, please give me the right pointer.

I experienced that CMake 2.8 automatically figures out how to link a C/Fortran executable when linking to a static C++ library, great. However I already had my own system in place to figure out that data, as I have to output this information to the user of my application. So my tests failed for CMake 2.8, as it was doing the right things in the background, but I didn't knew where to look for the magic that was used internally by CMake, which I have to know in order to give the information to the user. After hours of googling I finally found the right variables to read this information "CMAKE_CXX_IMPLICIT_LINK_LIBRARIES" and "CMAKE_CXX_IMPLICIT_LINK_LIBRARIES". None of these variables are documented anywere, the only pointer to these comes from a single Forum post. I would strongly advice to document these variables, as this is something that users might need to know.

-Tobias
