Summary0015621: CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM references toolset instead of platform
DescriptionThe help for CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM says:
"If the user specifies a toolset name (e.g. via the cmake -A option) the value will be available in this variable."

which is clearly a cut-and-paste from CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET:
"If the user specifies a toolset name (e.g. via the cmake -T option) the value will be available in this variable."

It _should_ say:
"If the user specifies a platform name (e.g. via the cmake -A option) the value will be available in this variable."

i.e. replace 'toolset' with 'platform', to match the variable name and the -A command-line parameter help.

See http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.2/variable/CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM.html#variable:CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM [^]
