This can happen when, for example, there's a debugging flag set at
compile-time, and the flag is off so the compiler can easily determine the
call cannot happen.
If you mean code that is stripped out by the preprocessor, it wouldn't
be a problem.
No, I mean code that survives the preprocessor, but evaluates to 'false'
at compile time. This is a common idiom, and it's often better than
using the preprocessor.
