If the implementation is an empty method and is final, a straightforward static flow analysis will show that the evaluation of the arguments can also be optimised away.
Not necessarily. Evaluation of arguments may have side-effects, and therefore even if the call to the logging gets optimised away, the evaluation may not be. It's better to have an array of Strings and let the logger do the concatenation rather than have a single Object/String and performing the concatenation, because then the logger can do the concatenation through stream manipulation rather than in-memory copying. That said, I don't think there's a great benefit of having logging in production code once it's complete, and I think that an aspect would be a better way of compiling with debugging code in.
