<h2>Toolset Selection<a class="headerlink" href="#toolset-selection" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h2>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">v142</span></code> toolset that comes with Visual Studio 16 2019 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 notranslate"><span class="pre">CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET</span></code></a> option may be set, perhaps

<p>For each toolset that comes with this version of Visual Studio, there are
variants that are themselves compiled for 32-bit (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">x86</span></code>) and
64-bit (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">x64</span></code>) hosts (independent of the architecture they target).
By default this generator uses the 64-bit variant on x64 hosts and
the 32-bit variant otherwise.
One may explicitly request use of either the 32-bit or 64-bit host tools
by adding either <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">host=x86</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">host=x64</span></code> to the toolset specification.
See the <span class="target" id="index-1-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 notranslate"><span class="pre">CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET</span></code></a> variable for details.</p>
