Specify toolset name if supported by generator.
Some CMake generators support a toolset name to be given to the
native build system to choose a compiler. This is supported only on
specific generators:
::
native build system to choose a compiler.
See the :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` variable.
This is supported only on specific generators:
Visual Studio >= 10
Xcode >= 3.0
* :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2010 and above
* The :generator:`Xcode` generator for Xcode 3.0 and above
See native build system documentation for allowed toolset names.
