Paolo posted a patch to adapt QEMU build system to VSCode few
years ago:

Hi Andrew,

I created a Visual Studio project a long time ago for qemu-ga. It is an
ugly unsustainable hack that was done in the time before QEMU moved to
meson and I had to deal with GCC extension that MS compiler couldn't handle.
Today I would experiment with meson that should be able to create VS
projects: https://mesonbuild.com/Using-with-Visual-Studio.html and use
clang on Windows (info in the same link).

Best regards,
Yan.
