Description

We should investigate switching between `Release` and `Debug` configurations when using Visual Studio on Windows. It seems that when you build RetDec in one of the configurations and then switch to the other one, the build fails. I do not have any details at hand.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure on Windows with Visual Studio: build RetDec in one configuration, switch to the other, and build again. Trace the configuration-specific failure and identify the affected build inputs; done means switching between Release and Debug builds succeeds reliably.
