Exactly: the "or '*.cpp'" would never be executed, so it was a mistake by
whoever wrote it.

It's redundant because 'self.sources' never has an empty value at this point,
because the defaulting is done earlier on by this code (which was not visible
in the diff):
def __init__(self, name, options, gen_obj):
[...]
self.sources = options.get('sources', '*.c *.cpp')
