Gary Willoughby:
Without trying to sound condescending, if you need to pass certain arguments only in debug builds something has gone terribly wrong with the design of your program. IMHO good OOP design would remove the need.
I think often OOP obfuscates the actual flow of data between functions (methods). So I even suggested to give D a kind of its opposite: https://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5007
In the debug build inside some functions I print some of the current state, as modified by a function. The extra arguments for the debug build are needed to produce a better or more complete print. But in release builds I'd like to avoid passing extra arguments that are useless.
