Summary:
this fix allows compilation with current (C++17 compliant) MS compilers. The goal was not to backport fixes from upstream (which reach the same goal) but to keep near the BSI-blessed version.
Background:
The most straight forward way to ensure that compiler- and platform-library-fixes (especially for security issues) is to ensure compatibility with current compilers.
Note: the impending roll-up, which is nearer to upstream will make this fix unnecessary. It should not be merged into this branch, if no pressing reasons emerge.
