CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_TOOLSET_HOST_ARCHITECTURE ------------------------------------------- Visual Studio preferred tool architecture. The :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2013 and above support optional selection of a 64-bit toolchain on 64-bit hosts by specifying a ``host=x64`` value in the :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` option. CMake provides the selected toolchain architecture preference in this variable (either ``x64`` or empty).
