Is there an Rust equivalent to the C preprocessor's DATE and TIME macros?

Question

I am looking for a way to embed the compile-time date and time into my program output for debugging purposes.

Seriously consider *not* doing this (or at least making it overridable at build time) because this completely precludes any ability to have a deterministic build. — Shepmaster, Feb 24 '18 at 17:32

For anyone interested, I've made a self-contained tutorial with some snippets, about [generating version strings](https://vallentin.io/2019/06/06/versioning). — vallentin, Jul 02 '19 at 21:21

No, there is not. Use a build script instead.
