So I always make a method like this:

//for printing
    private static void _(String s)
    {
        if (Prefs.DEBUG)
        {
            com.codename1.io.Log.p(Prefs.ANSI_GREEN+"####StateMachine "+s);
        }
    }

then when it comes to release I set Prefs.DEBUG (which is final) to false, 
would this mean the method was stripped out during compilation? On both 
iOS/Android? Or not ? It's just that during dev I really need A LOT of 
print outs to follow my code, but then for release obviously I dont want 
any. In the old J2ME days I used to do a find and replace on all calls to 
_("hello"); etc before release, but im wondering if that's necessary 
anymore? 

I assume if its not stripped out during compilation then each call even if 
it really does nothing may add up (i do a lot in loops etc) to eventually 
slow certain things down (even by X many ms). But from what I understand 
modern java compilers would remove it since it really doesnt do anything if 
debug is false.
