Would Java inline method(s) during optimization?

Question

I wonder if JVM/javac is smart enough to turn

// This line...
string a = foo();

string foo()
{
  return bar();
}

string bar()
{
  return some-complicated-s         


        

Answer 1

If you thrown an exception in bar() and print the stacktrace you'll see the whole path of calls... I think java honor all of them.

The second case is the same, debug is just a variable of your system, not a define as in C++, so it is mandatory to evaluate it before.
