The 32 vs 64 bit switch based on pointer size is not sufficient. To be 100%
correct you shall be able to differentiate between x86_64 and IA-64
(However I think it's quite rare case). And to me personally condition with
target architecture looks better than CMAKE_CL_64 or checking the size of

I am not sure that has ever caused me a problem on any of the 64 bit
applications I have written. The only problem I had with
Except that you have CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR == "x86" (event for "Win64"
generators) in your CMake files along with all search paths which sometimes
