    fn calculate(
        build_runner: &mut BuildRunner<'_, '_>,
        unit: &Unit,
    ) -> CargoResult<Arc<Fingerprint>>

Expand description

Calculates the fingerprint for a `Unit`.

This fingerprint is used by Cargo to learn about when information such as:

- A non-path package changes (changes version, changes revision, etc).
- Any dependency changes
- The compiler changes
- The set of features a package is built with changes
- The profile a target is compiled with changes (e.g., opt-level changes)
- Any other compiler flags change that will affect the result

Information like file modification time is only calculated for path dependencies.
