Presumably, there is no Rule that takes "txt" files as inputs and
produces outputs that are connected to the product type.
To be able to say with certainty, I'd have to see the complete project.

Presumably, your product is of e.g. type application and has a
dependency on the cpp module, so the respective rules are executed. (But
see above).
