Removing the logging statement entirely is achieved by expanding the 
macro to:
if (1) /*NOP*/; else qDebug()

Technically, you'd have to wrap the logging statement in a #ifdef/#endif 
pair to ensure it's completely removed but I think compilers can 
correctly determine that the else is never hit (due to the constant in 
the if) and so omit that code from the binary. Certainly, that code will 
never be run when the macro expands this way.
