Hello,
We will most likely need to drop support for older VS in JDK 12 as there
is much interest to move to a later C++ standard in Hotspot. That change
has not happened yet though and will certainly require a JEP (the C++
standard change part). In the meantime, if you need JDK 12 to work on
VS2013, I think your change makes sense (unless it's a step backwards
from a standards perspective, hopefully Kim or someone better versed in
language and standard libs can answer that).
I would recommend upgrading your build environment to VS2017 instead if
possible. You only need the "BuildTools" distribution to build OpenJDK.
The community edition also works. Installing it in parallel with VS2013
works fine. JDK 11/12 builds will automatically pick 2017 and JDK 8/9/10
will automatically pick 2013.

OpenJDK is currently not buildable with Visual Studio <2015 due to
missing `snprintf`[1].
We should either update the doc to minimal version 2015, or commit
JDK-8208084 from another RFR[2].
