It fails:
vs_string.cc
c:\work\vc_string\vs_string.cc(1) : error C2371: 'size_t' :
redefinition; different basic types
c:\work\vc_string\vs_string.cc : see declaration of 'size_t'
c:\work\vc_string\vs_string.cc(34) : error C2057: expected constant
expression
A comment to line 1 fixes only the first redefinition error.
Do you need the preprocessed source ?
