unicode	Preset that adds the UNICODE and _UNICODE preprocessor definitions.
win32	Preset type for Windows based applications.

Enumeration values

console

Preset type for console based applications. The preset includes the /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE simple linker parameter, and adds appropriate include directories and library paths to access the Windows SDK. The _CONSOLE preprocessor definition is added.

dll

Preset type for DLL (Dynamic Link Library) creation. The preset includes the /DLL /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS simple linker parameters and adds appropriate include directories and library paths to access the Windows SDK. The _WINDOWS, _WINDLL preprocessor definitions are added.

optimize-debug

Preset that includes command line arguments for debug optimization. The /Od simple parameters are added for compilation. Also defines the _DEBUG macro without any value (/D_DEBUG). The preset doesn't include any linker parameters.

optimize-release

Preset that includes command line arguments for release optimization. The /GL /Gy /O2 /Oi simple parameters are added for compilation. Also defines the NDEBUG macro without any value (/DNDEBUG). The /LTCG /OPT:REF /OPT:ICF simple parameters are added for linking.

uap

Preset type for developing against the Universal Application Platform (also known as UWP, Universal Windows Platform).

unicode

Preset that adds the UNICODE and _UNICODE preprocessor definitions. This allows using wide characters with the functions defined in the Windows header files. E.g. CreateFile maps to CreateFileW instead of CreatefileA.

win32

Preset type for Windows based applications. The preset includes the /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS simple linker parameter, and adds appropriate include directories and library paths to access the Windows SDK. The _WINDOWS preprocessor definition is added.
