The extra trailing semicolon is seen by the compiler as a null
statement. It's usually harmless, but can cause trouble sometimes. Try
this:
if (something)
debugs(x,y)("foo");
else
debugs(x,y)("bar");
and I think you'll get an error in the "foo" line with your original
macros, but not with the "do { ... } while (0)" version.
