This module provides a command to determine the installed Visual Studio service pack version for Visual Studio 2012 and earlier.

Load this module in a CMake project with:

    include(CMakeDetermineVSServicePack)

## Commands

This module provides the following command:

DetermineVSServicePack

  Determines the Visual Studio service pack version of the `cl` compiler in use:

  The result is stored in the specified internal cache variable `<variable>`, which is set to one of the following values, or to an empty string if the service pack cannot be determined:

  - `vc80`, `vc80sp1`

  - `vc90`, `vc90sp1`

  - `vc100`, `vc100sp1`

  - `vc110`, `vc110sp1`, `vc110sp2`, `vc110sp3`, `vc110sp4`

## Examples

      DetermineVSServicePack(my_service_pack)

        message(STATUS "Detected: ${my_service_pack}")
      endif()
