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!
