That's what confused me.  The last commit date for gobject.c seems to be 
25th May 2014 and yet the same code section looked like this only a 
fortnight ago:-

#ifdef  G_ENABLE_DEBUG
    IF_DEBUG (OBJECTS)
      {
        debug_objects_ht = g_hash_table_new (g_direct_hash, NULL);
#ifndef G_HAS_CONSTRUCTORS
        g_atexit (debug_objects_atexit);
#endif /* G_HAS_CONSTRUCTORS */
      }
#endif    /* G_ENABLE_DEBUG */

The above code compiles okay (or at least, it did a fortnight ago) and 
VC8 is supposedly a supported compiler, so will a fix be possible?
