MSVC implements empty base class optimization only as an opt-in (see https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/optimizing-the-layout-of-empty-base-classes-in-vs2015-update-2-3/).
Because of this, the tests fail on MSVC as the engines are larger than expected.
By using the attribute to opt-in to EBCO, the engines are of the expected sizes.
