Answer 1

shadow-rs:: build-time information stored in your rust project.(binary,lib,cdylib,dylib)

https://github.com/baoyachi/shadow-rs

shadow-rs allows you to recall properties of the build process and environment at runtime, including:

• Cargo.toml project version
• Dependency information
• The Git commit that produced the build artifact (binary)
• What version of the rust toolchain was used in compilation
• The build variant, e.g. debug or release
• (And more)

You can use this tool to check in production exactly where a binary came from and how it was built.
