to specify a target platform name (architecture).</p>
<p>For compatibility with CMake versions prior to 3.1, one may specify
a target platform name optionally at the end of this generator name:</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Visual</span> <span class="pre">Studio</span> <span class="pre">15</span> <span class="pre">2017</span> <span class="pre">Win64</span></code></dt>

<h2>Toolset Selection<a class="headerlink" href="#toolset-selection" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">v141</span></code> toolset that comes with Visual Studio 15 2017 is selected by
default. The <span class="target" id="index-0-variable:CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../variable/CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET.html#variable:CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET" title="CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET"><code class="xref cmake cmake-variable docutils literal"><span class="pre">CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET</span></code></a> option may be set, perhaps
via the <span class="target" id="index-0-manual:cmake(1)"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../manual/cmake.1.html#manual:cmake(1)" title="cmake(1)"><code class="xref cmake cmake-manual docutils literal"><span class="pre">cmake(1)</span></code></a> <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-T</span></code> option, to specify another toolset.</p>
<p>For each toolset that comes with this version of Visual Studio, there are
variants that are themselves compiled for 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) hosts
(independent of the architecture they target). By default Visual Studio
chooses the 32-bit variant even on a 64-bit host. One may request use of the
64-bit host tools by adding <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">host=x64</span></code> to the toolset specification:</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">host=x64</span></code></dt>
<dd>Select the 64-bit variant of the default toolset.</dd>
<dt><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;toolset&gt;,host=x64</span></code></dt>
<dd>Select the 64-bit variant of the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;toolset&gt;</span></code> toolset.</dd>
