Visual Studio 17 2022
---------------------
.. versionadded:: 3.21
Generates Visual Studio 17 (VS 2022) project files.
.. warning::
This is experimental and based on "Visual Studio 2022 Preview 4".
As of this version of CMake, VS 2022 has not been released.
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 2022 supports multiple installations on the same machine.
The :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE` variable may be set as a
cache entry containing the absolute path to a Visual Studio instance.
If the value is not specified explicitly by the user or a toolchain file,
CMake queries the Visual Studio Installer to locate VS instances, chooses
one, and sets the variable as a cache entry to hold the value persistently.
When CMake first chooses an instance, if the ``VS170COMNTOOLS`` environment
variable is set and points to the ``Common7/Tools`` directory within
one of the instances, that instance will be used. Otherwise, if more
than one instance is installed we do not define which one is chosen
by default.
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 17 2022" -A Win32``
* ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64``
* ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A ARM``
* ``cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A ARM64``
Toolset Selection
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The ``v143`` toolset that comes with VS 17 2022 Preview 4 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.
