Visual Studio 15
----------------

Generates Visual Studio 15 project files.

The :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` variable may be set
to specify a target platform name (architecture).

For compatibility with CMake versions prior to 3.1, one may specify
a target platform name optionally at the end of this generator name:

``Visual Studio 15 Win64``
  Specify target platform ``x64``.

``Visual Studio 15 ARM``
  Specify target platform ``ARM``.
VS15: Add Visual Studio 15 generator Call the generator "Visual Studio 15" without any year because the preview version of VS 15 does not provide a year in the product name. Copy cmGlobalVisualStudio14Generator to cmGlobalVisualStudio15Generator and update version numbers accordingly. Add the VS15 enumeration value. Note that we do not need to add a MSVC15 variable or v150 toolset because Visual Studio 15 comes with an updated version of the v140 toolset and remains ABI-compatible. Teach tests VSExternalInclude, RunCMake.GeneratorPlatform, and RunCMake.GeneratorToolset to treat VS 15 as they do VS 10-14. Closes: #16143 2016-09-02 20:15:11 +00:00			`Visual Studio 15`
