Yes, from the sequence it seems that the MC++ compiler is not called.
However, the cpps directory is filled with module__cpp_code.cpp, and the css
directory is filled with module__csharp_code.cs.  I presume, however, that
this is just template code and does not get used unless you use either the
C# or MC++ backends, as you say.
