Visual Studio 2017: ambiguous size_t character in linux projects

Question

In Visual Studio 2017, when creating a Linux project and pasting using namespace std;into source code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    size_t i = 1;
    string s = to_string(i);
    cout << i << s << endl;
    return 0;
}

VS emphasizes size_tand says that it is an ambiguous symbol.

If I press F12 ( Go to definition), it will offer me two definitions:

From stddef.h

( C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\Linux\include\usr\include\x86_64-linux-gnu\5\include\stddef.h):

// ...
namespace std
{
  typedef __SIZE_TYPE__     size_t;
// ...

AND c++config.h

( C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\Linux\include\usr\include\x86_64-linux-gnu\c++\5\bits\c++config.h):

// ...
#if !(defined (__GNUG__) && defined (size_t))
typedef __SIZE_TYPE__ size_t;
// ...

This only happens with Linux projects in VS, not with Windows projects.

Is there a known solution (except "do not use using namespace std;:))?
