Description

From my experience, the Visual Studio Core Guidelines Checker is the best static analysis tool I've seen so far.

I would love to have it on Visual Studio Code's C++ ecosystem, and I'm sure many more as well.

There is even a description on how it can be used outside Visual Studio. However I understand, as of now, this would be a Windows-only feature, if implemented like this.

This is a feature request that I hope helps voicing that we (at least I) want this amazing static analyser in VSCode!

Start by reviewing the linked Visual Studio Core Guidelines Checker documentation and its instructions for use outside Visual Studio; done would mean the checker is supported in the VS Code C++ ecosystem, with the Windows-only scope understood.
