Only text section returned when passing `--release` about cargo-bloat HOT 4 CLOSED

Yes, this is the expected result. strip removes information used by cargo-bloat. And no, cargo-bloat doesn't check that you have modified the binary. And I'm not sure if this even possible. Unless cargo stores checksum of the original binary somewhere.

What is your target? Can you send the binary itself?

I am compiling on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on WSL. The target is 1.41.0-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
I deleted the target folder and re-compiled the program and now it works. Looks like I ran strip on it before running cargo bloat --release. And cargo doesn't check the signature, just if the file is present on the system. So it didn't re-build the file.

If you happen to know why calling strip removes the ability to properly use cargo-bloat, could you explain it to me? :)

Ah OK, thanks for letting me know! I was just surprised that cargo doesn't store the checksum and instead just checks if the file exists. Maybe this might be a QoL improvement for cargo 🤔
