Reports log statements with non-constant arguments which are not surrounded by a guard condition. The evaluation of the arguments of a log statement can be expensive. Surrounding a log statement with a guard clause prevents that cost when the logging is disabled for the level used by the logging statement. This is especially for the least serious level (trace, debug, finest) of logging statements, because those are most often disabled in a production environment.
