I was able to solve the above error by changing the struct member alignment from /Zp4 to /Zp16, however this change is impacting other components, is there any way i can solve this error without changing the structure member alignment?
Did you consider other “Platform Toolset” and “Common Language Runtime Support” options and is “Use of MFC” required?
@alpha-9369 ,
I suggest you could refer to the Doc:Linker Tools Error LNK2022.
Did you run ildasm -tokens on the object files to find which types have the tokens listed in error_message, and look for differences?
Did you look at all definitions of the specified types?
Did you ensure that that the metadata file (.dll or .netmodule) is in the same location when passed to the linker, as it was when it was passed to the compiler?
I suggest you could refer to the link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11990095/lnk2022-metadata-operation-inconsistent-layout-information-in-duplicated-types
