VS2022 - Code compiles fine using Release configuration but not when switch to Debug

I am using serial debugger with custom board based on ESP32-MINI-1. The code is mildly complex with couple .cpp files. It compiles and runs fine in Release mode, but as soon as I select Debug mode and try to compile it fails with the following:

error: expected unqualified-id before 'if

The location where it points in the code has nothing unusual and as I said above it compiles fine as is in Release mode.

I tried removing ALL breakpoints and I get the same outcome.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the report.

From the logs sent by email, I suspect the issue is how the loop() function is written:
void loop(void){}

If you change this to have the curly braces on separate lines it should then work as expected:
void loop(void){
}

Yes, that was it! Very strange but glad it compiles because after spending several hours on this I started thinking some kind of witchcraft is involved! Glad I reached out. Thank you!
