Is this a normal behavior with Visual Studio?
Yes.
As far as I know, we can combine Release and Debug configuration into a single .lib file.
This is incorrect.
Is this a normal behavior that generated .lib file does not compatible on different build mode? (debug/release/x64/x86)

There is two different build configuration (Debug/Release) and two different debug platforms (x64/Win32)
When I build a static library project, it generates .lib file based on build configuration and build platform:
build\
release\x64\mylib.lib
debug\x64\mylib.lib
Is this a normal behavior with Visual Studio? As far as I know, we can combine Release and Debug configuration into a single .lib file.
How can I do that in VS2022?
If that is not possible, I just separate lib folder for different build configuration (in my other project that uses mylib):
lib\
release\x64\
debug\x64\

2022-10-29T06:44:32.757+00:00 Alright, maybe I just seen it in a dream. But I barely remember there is single
.libthat can be used for both Debug and Release, somewhere in a c++ library.Thank you for the answer, @RLWA32

"When an object that has the same name exists in more than one input file, LIB puts the last object specified in the LIB command into the output library."
