# CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM

Generator-specific target platform name specified 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 toolset name (e.g. via the cmake -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.
