Nice, thank you ! And thank you for your Debug package, I already know 
about it.

But don't you think that the elaboration of the calls will still exist ?
Executing the statement :

	Null_Proc ("I was here" & Function_Call(A+12));

will always produce a call to Function_Call, even if Null_Proc has a 
null body, I guess.
I have zillion of 'complicated' traces like this :

	Traces.Put_Info ("Mouse at home, ears=" & (+Mice.ears)
                                       & "tong=" & (+Mice.tong)
                                       ...
                                       & "legs=" & (+Mice.legs));

where "+" is a rename of some kind of 'Image, may be a sophisticated 
one. In general returning fixed-length strings, but not always. So I 
suspect that theses traces call every "+" involved in the elaboration of 
the call, maybe doing heap allocation, even when Trace.Put_info is null.
