Thanks for the heads-up. I installed the attached patches, which attempt 
to fix the problems you mention in more-portable ways. Please give them 
a try.

Perhaps you could teach verify.h to use 'static_assert'; see 
<https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio-ide/suggestions/16507642-please-implement-static-assert>. 
But if it's too much trouble please don't bother; see 
<https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/System-Portability.html> 
for why.
