The only way it could tell this is via library dependencies. Just supplying the library dependencies is not enough. C++ introduces a new wrinkle in that there are now often 3 or 4 different C++ variants available based on C++ standard level, and library options (e.g. different C++ STL library implementations). Things have changed quite a lot in the past several years when it comes to C++. In addition to being linked using the C++ compiler, the correct options would need to be passed to the C++ compiler so that the correct standard level and libraries are used.
