Feature Request: Visual Studio Code Extra Generator
Visual Studio Code is becoming a more popular and more complete C/C++ IDE. While there is some support for using CMake with Visual Studio Code it is all implemented by VSCode plugins. The cmake-tools plugin does not work well with the cpptools plugin and as a result Intellisense and error checking do not work well/at all. A plugin that until recently fixed these issues is no longer functional (cmake-tools-helper) and has always been, at best, a workaround to the issues with cmake-tools.
A CMake Generator to generate Visual Studio Code helper files for C/C++ projects would help solve these problems. Visual Studio Code's tasks.json and c_cpp_properties.json files are not hard to work with and a CodeBlocks project file contains all the information needed by Visual Studio Code (just a different file format).
I can convert a CodeBlocks project, generated by CMake, to Visual Studio Code json files by hand, so it should not be too hard to implement.
I would be willing to get this working, unless there is some reason a Visual Studio Code Generator can't or shouldn't be added to CMake.
