I analyzed problem a little bit. Only gcc/clang allows to use this trick.
Msvc compiler forbidens such code (even with different enabled
optimizations like remove unused references, whole program optimization
etc) I have made patch, which uses preprocessor #if directive instead. If
it will be helpful, I can share the patch.
