The change LGTM, but as @seishun says in the other thread – it shouldn’t do anything at all? Along the lines of #25593 (comment): This shouldn’t be an issue when the definitions are all in one file, and it’s likely that something else is going on here…

Let's not make magical workarounds. We should figure out why this is happening and (most likely) submit a bug report to Visual Studio.

I agree this is "magical". AFAICR that is why I didn't submit a PR with this till now.
But, it fixes the problem at hand so ¯\(ツ)

If the underlying issue in the compiler is not fixed then it might break in another way in the next version.

Until we get new VS with the bug fixed, we need to do something to make Node work again.

FYI it works - just not the debug build.

In any case, the commit message should explain what the problem is and how it's being mitigated.

The problem is now "Under Investigation" so maybe it will be fixed very soon.

@refack I think with an updated commit message this should be ready to go 👍

(And I’m assuming we want to merge this even if it gets fixed in the compiler itself)

I don't think so - I find it slightly more readable when an instance definition follows the class definition.

I've tested master with the VS2019 preview (CL.EXE version 19.20.27027.1), and it seems like the compiler issue does not reproduce...
But IMO this PR is low impact enough to meanwhile be a beneficial workaround (Node 10 & 11 are built with VS2017).
