Odd compilation issue on Windows - c++

Question

When I declare a Mat from opencv, the program still compiles without issues, but then does not produce any output when run. There are no warnings or errors during compilation. However, this builds and runs correctly on Linux.
Is this an issue with the compiler, or am I overlooking something extremely obvious?
Note: In the build you can see that I am using the CLion IDE. I only use it for code insights and do all compilation and cmake tasks with the command line.
Includes
#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"
#include "opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp"
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace cv;
Working run
int main( int argc, char** argv ){
std::cout << "TEST\n";
// This line is commented out!
// Mat object;
if (argc < 2) {
std::cout << "There was an issue!\n";
return 0;
}
/* Commented out code */
return 0;
}
C:\Path\To\Project\build> cmake --build . --config Release
Wow! Your code is amazing and compiled without any issues!
C:\Path\To\Project\build> Release\test.exe
TEST
There was an issue!
Problem run
int main( int argc, char** argv ){
std::cout << "TEST\n";
// All I did was remove the comment on this line!
Mat object;
if (argc < 2) {
std::cout << "There was an issue!\n";
return 0;
}
/* Commented out code */
return 0;
}
C:\Path\To\Project\build> cmake --build . --config Release
Wow! Your code is amazing and compiled without any issues!

Is there an issue with the library I am using when building on Windows? Is my compiler silently failing? Did I make a simple mistake?
