/// This is a generic version number that can be changed to make

/// directory. For example, the fingerprint files or the build-script
/// output files.

/// use the same rustc version.

/// The `Metadata` is a hash used to make unique file names for each unit in a
/// build. It is also used for symbol mangling.
///
/// For example:
/// - A project may depend on crate `A` and crate `B`, so the package name must be in the file name.
/// - Similarly a project may depend on two versions of `A`, so the version must be in the file name.
///
/// In general this must include all things that need to be distinguished in different parts of
/// the same build. This is absolutely required or we override things before
/// we get chance to use them.
///
/// It is also used for symbol mangling, because if you have two versions of
/// the same crate linked together, their symbols need to be differentiated.
///
/// We use a hash because it is an easy way to guarantee
/// that all the inputs can be converted to a valid path.
///
/// This also acts as the main layer of caching provided by Cargo.
/// For example, we want to cache `cargo build` and `cargo doc` separately, so that running one
/// does not invalidate the artifacts for the other. We do this by including [`CompileMode`] in the
/// hash, thus the artifacts go in different folders and do not override each other.
/// If we don't add something that we should have, for this reason, we get the
/// correct output but rebuild more than is needed.
///
/// Some things that need to be tracked to ensure the correct output should definitely *not*
/// go in the `Metadata`. For example, the modification time of a file, should be tracked to make a
/// rebuild when the file changes. However, it would be wasteful to include in the `Metadata`. The
/// old artifacts are never going to be needed again. We can save space by just overwriting them.
/// If we add something that we should not have, for this reason, we get the correct output but take
/// more space than needed. This makes not including something in `Metadata`
/// a form of cache invalidation.
///
/// You should also avoid anything that would interfere with reproducible
/// builds. For example, *any* absolute path should be avoided. This is one
/// reason that `RUSTFLAGS` is not in `Metadata`, because it often has
/// absolute paths (like `--remap-path-prefix` which is fundamentally used for
/// reproducible builds and has absolute paths in it). Also, in some cases the
/// mangled symbols need to be stable between different builds with different
/// settings. For example, profile-guided optimizations need to swap
/// `RUSTFLAGS` between runs, but needs to keep the same symbol names.
///
/// Note that the `Fingerprint` is in charge of tracking everything needed to determine if a
/// rebuild is needed.
