6211 :: templates and when defined

  A pretty simple question but I guess It's better to know for sure:

  template check_error_remove_component*(this: ent, id: uint16): untyped =
      when defined(debug):
  Run

  If I define debug the check_error_remove_component will be ignored, but I still trigger check_error_remove_component from the code, so it will be executed and it will pass variables to nowhere or it will be ignored completely?

  An empty template will add nothing in the resulting binary since template is just code substitution and if you have nothing to substitute to, nothing will be added :)
