This is likely a MSVC 8 issue. The GOBJECT_IF_DEBUG macro expands the
second argument to a code block, and it seems MSVC 8 has issues when
that includes a conditional pre-processor directive.
GOBJECT_IF_DEBUG hasn't changed since 2014, and the same commit
introduced the use you see failing.
Ciao,
Emmanuele.
