+ If you want to add a new file to one of the CMakeLists.txt files + then you should place it in either the _unity_include_src or + the _separate_src list (not both). If the new file only takes a + few seconds to compile then it should be placed in the former category (so + that it may be built in a unity file) and otherwise it should be in the + latter. If you are not sure where a new file belongs then placing it in + the _separate_src list is the conservative choice. +
