CMake - detecting target architecture when using vscode

gistfile1.txt

This can be done by adding following to the settings.json

"cmake.configureSettings": {
    "TARGET_ARCH": "${buildKitTargetArch}"
},

In CMakeLists.txt, it can be used like this:
#--- check target architecture
if(NOT TARGET_ARCH)
    set(TARGET_ARCH "x86_64" CACHE STRING "Choose target architecture, options are: x86, x86_64..." FORCE)
    message(STATUS "No build type specified, defaulting to MinSizeRel.")
endif()

if(${TARGET_ARCH} STREQUAL "x64")
    set(TARGET_ARCH "x86_64" CACHE STRING "Choose target architecture, options are: x86, x86_64..." FORCE)
endif()
