+MSVC_TOOLSET_VERSION
+--------------------
+
+The toolset version of Microsoft Visual C/C++ being used if any.
+If MSVC-like is being used, this variable is set based on the version
+of the compiler as given by the :variable:`MSVC_VERSION` variable.
+
+Known toolset version numbers are::
+
+ 80 = VS 2005 (8.0)
+ 90 = VS 2008 (9.0)
+ 100 = VS 2010 (10.0)
+ 110 = VS 2012 (11.0)
+ 120 = VS 2013 (12.0)
+ 140 = VS 2015 (14.0)
+ 141 = VS 2017 (15.0)
+
+Compiler versions newer than those known to CMake will be reported
+as the latest known toolset version.
+
+See also the :variable:`MSVC_VERSION` variable.
