check_min_vs

check_min_vs(conanfile, version, raise_invalid=True)

This is a helper method to allow the migration of 1.X -> 2.0 and VisualStudio -> msvc settings without breaking recipes. The legacy “Visual Studio” with different toolset is not managed, not worth the complexity.

  • Parameters:

    • raise_invalid – bool Whether to raise or return False if the version check fails

    • conanfile – < ConanFile object > The current recipe object. Always use self.

    • version – str Visual Studio or msvc version number.

Example:

  1. def validate(self):
  2.     check_min_vs(self, "192")

msvc_runtime_flag

msvc_runtime_flag(conanfile)

Gets the MSVC runtime flag given the compiler.runtime value from the settings.

  • Parameters:

    conanfile – < ConanFile object > The current recipe object. Always use self.

    Returns:

    str runtime flag.

is_msvc

is_msvc(conanfile, build_context=False)

Validates if the current compiler is msvc.

  • Parameters:

    • conanfile – < ConanFile object > The current recipe object. Always use self.

    • build_context – If True, will use the settings from the build context, not host ones

    Returns:

    bool True, if the host compiler is msvc, otherwise, False.

is_msvc_static_runtime

is_msvc_static_runtime(conanfile)

Validates when building with Visual Studio or msvc and MT on runtime.

  • Parameters:

    conanfile – < ConanFile object > The current recipe object. Always use self.

    Returns:

    bool True, if msvc + runtime MT. Otherwise, False.

msvs_toolset

msvs_toolset(conanfile)

Returns the corresponding platform toolset based on the compiler setting. In case no toolset is configured in the profile, it will return a toolset based on the compiler version, otherwise, it will return the toolset from the profile. When there is no compiler version neither toolset configured, it will return None It supports msvc, intel-cc and clang compilers. For clang, is assumes the ClangCl toolset, as provided by the Visual Studio installer.

  • Parameters:

    conanfile – Conanfile instance to access settings.compiler

    Returns:

    A toolset when compiler.version is valid or compiler.toolset is configured. Otherwise, None.
