 * In a mixed C++/Fortran code, CMake will use the C++ linker by default. If you override this behavior and use Fortran as the link language, the link may break because Kokkos adds linker flags expecting the linker to be C++. Prior to CMake 3.18, Kokkos has no way of detecting in downstream projects that the linker was changed to Fortran.  From CMake 3.18, Kokkos can use generator expressions to avoid adding flags when the linker is not C++. Note: Kokkos will not add any linker flags in this Fortran case. The user will be entirely on their own to add the appropriate linker flags.
