    [OPTIONS_RELEASE <-DOPTIMIZE=1>...]
    [OPTIONS_DEBUG <-DDEBUGGABLE=1>...]
```

## Parameters
### SOURCE_PATH

### PROJECT_NAME
Specifies the name of msvc makefile name.
Default is makefile.vc

### NO_DEBUG

### PRERUN_SHELL

### PRERUN_SHELL_DEBUG

### PRERUN_SHELL_RELEASE
Script that needs to be called before release build

### OPTIONS
Additional options passed to generate during the generation.

### OPTIONS_RELEASE
Additional options passed to generate during the Release generation. These are in addition to `OPTIONS`.

### OPTIONS_DEBUG

## Parameters:
