CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM¶
Generator-specific target platform specification provided by user.
Some CMake generators support a target platform name to be given
to the native build system to choose a compiler toolchain.
If the user specifies a platform name (e.g. via the cmake(1) -A
option) the value will be available in this variable.
The value of this variable should never be modified by project code.
A toolchain file specified by the CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE
variable may initialize CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM. Once a given
build tree has been initialized with a particular value for this
variable, changing the value has undefined behavior.
Platform specification is supported only on specific generators:
For Visual Studio Generators with VS 2005 and above this specifies the target architecture.
For
Green Hills MULTIthis specifies the target architecture.
See native build system documentation for allowed platform names.
Visual Studio Platform Selection¶
On Visual Studio Generators the selected platform name
is provided in the CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_NAME variable.
