Describe the issue

TestQualysAgent.cpp
1>    C:\data\qagent\Source\Agent\SupportLibs\GoogleTest\GoogleTest\googletest\include\gtest\gtest-matchers.h(412,14): error C2059: syntax error: 'static_cast'
1>    (compiling source file '/TestQualysAgent.cpp')

I'm getting above error while building the gtest (1.14.0) in visual studio 2022 (Platform Toolset - Visual Studio 2015 - Windows XP (v140_xp))

template <typename M, bool = MatcherBase::IsInlined<M>()> struct ValuePolicy { static const M& Get(const MatcherBase& m) { // When inlined along with Init, need to be explicit to avoid violating // strict aliasing rules. const M* ptr = static_cast<const M*>(static_cast<const void*>(&m.buffer_)); return *ptr; } static void Init(MatcherBase& m, M impl) { ::**new (static_cast<void*>(&m.buffer_)) M(impl);** //// Getting error on this line of code. } static constexpr auto shared_destroy = nullptr; };

Steps to reproduce the problem
