+#  Note : RocksDB has a lot of unittests. We should not include these files
+#  in the build, because 1. they are not needed and 2. gtest causes warnings
+#  in windows build, which are treated as errors and cause the build to fail.
+#
+#  Unit tests themselves:
+#  - *_test.cc
+#  - *_bench.cc
+#
+#  - table/mock_table.cc
+#  - utilities/cassandra/cassandra_compaction_filter.cc
+#  - utilities/cassandra/format.cc
+#  - utilities/cassandra/merge_operator.cc
