Visual Studio 16 2019 | |
--------------------- | |
.. versionadded:: 3.14 | |
Generates Visual Studio 16 (VS 2019) project files. | |
Project Types | |
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | |
Only Visual C++ and C# projects may be generated (and Fortran with | |
Intel compiler integration). Other types of projects (JavaScript, | |
Powershell, Python, etc.) are not supported. | |
Instance Selection | |
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | |
VS 2019 supports multiple installations on the same machine. The | |
:variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE` variable may be used to select one. | |
Platform Selection | |
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | |
The default target platform name (architecture) is that of the host | |
and is provided in the :variable:`CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_NAME_DEFAULT` variable. | |
The :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` variable may be set, perhaps | |
via the :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-A`` option, to specify a target platform | |
name (architecture). For example: | |
* ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A Win32`` | |
* ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64`` | |
* ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A ARM`` | |
* ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A ARM64`` | |
Toolset Selection | |
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | |
The ``v142`` toolset that comes with Visual Studio 16 2019 is selected by | |
default. The :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` option may be set, perhaps | |
via the :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-T`` option, to specify another toolset. | |
.. |VS_TOOLSET_HOST_ARCH_DEFAULT| replace:: | |
By default this generator uses the 64-bit variant on x64 hosts and | |
the 32-bit variant otherwise. | |
