Description
Type: General
Describe the request
I would like to be able to use inputs and command within the c_cpp_properties.json in order to have parametrized configuration based on a key-value file, such as the described in https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rioj7.command-variable#file-content-key-value-pairs and the question I put in stack overflow:
I want to have VSCode as my main Embedded enviroment and this would be an amazing feature to have.
