Answer 1

Some answers only said when to use PRIVATE/PUBLIC/INTERFACE, but the affects are ignored. Refer:CMake-Public-Private-Interface

PUBLIC
All the objects following PUBLIC will be used for linking to the current target and providing the interface to the other targets that have dependencies on the current target.

PRIVATE
All the objects following PRIVATE will only be used for linking to the current target.

INTERFACE
All the objects following INTERFACE will only be used for providing the interface to the other targets that have dependencies on the current target.
