Summary

0015621: CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM references toolset instead of platform

Description

The help for CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM says:
"If the user specifies a toolset name (e.g. via the cmake -A option) the value will be available in this variable."

which is clearly a cut-and-paste from CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET:
"If the user specifies a toolset name (e.g. via the cmake -T option) the value will be available in this variable."

It _should_ say:
"If the user specifies a platform name (e.g. via the cmake -A option) the value will be available in this variable."

i.e. replace 'toolset' with 'platform', to match the variable name and the -A command-line parameter help.
