Export IntelliSense information for use in other tools

[LukeSerne]

I noticed IntelliSense does a really good job at parsing a C++ project I'm working on. Especially how it can link references of structures / classes to their definition, and in those definitions, it even knows how big every structure is and at what offsets the various fields of that structure are. I'd like to export this information for use by in other tools.

Is it possible to export information IntelliSense gathers to some file format? If so, how does this work? If not, are there people who would support a feature request to add this?

I couldn't find anything mentioning this in the documentation or in this repo, but maybe I didn't look hard enough.

This would be really cool, is there an API or something to interact with vscode's linter?

Thank you for your feature suggestion. There is not currently an "exporter" for our IntelliSense that would allow us to persist the information for other tools to consume. And unfortunately for your use case, this is not something that is currently on our roadmap for the extension.
