Ok. I properly merged from master. Manually clear BuildOutput folder and everything compiles now.

I guess #error /GR implies _HAS_STATIC_RTTI. was side-effect from other build errors

@mayankkrjain do you also hit this problem with the release version of VS 2019? Or is this issue specific to the Preview 5 version?

I am only running the preview version of VS 2019, with VS 2017. I will try in the release version.

It works in the release version, but not in at least the past 3 Visual Studio 2019 previews
