Description

Using MinGW/Cygwin, what is the closest I can come to get the extension highlight all the warnings errors from these flags? -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -Wconversion -Werror.
https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/2091 is relevant, but it doesn't answer if its possible to enable these warnings on MinGW/Cygwin gcc/g++ if it's possible at all. I'm sorry if this is a duplicate, thanks in advance.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported MinGW/Cygwin behavior with gcc or g++ and the flags -Wall, -Wextra, -pedantic, -Wconversion, and -Werror. Compare the result with issue #2091 and determine the extension entry point or configuration responsible for warning diagnostics; done means supported warnings are highlighted as problems or the limitation is documented.
