Support Predifined Variables for "launchConfiguration"

At present, the lint command is "launchConfiguration" + ${file}, and any VSCode predefined variables are not supported. However, it's quite normal to preprocess the opening file before pass it to the linter.

Yep, preprocessing is not implemented yet. Work on-going there, but it will take some time before I can make it.

Hey @Xusine1131 Have you tried using a task? (Tasks can now be defined for a user, instead of per workspace)

Snippet here: https://github.com/eirikpre/VSCode-SystemVerilog/issues/63#issuecomment-618331523

It is not shown in the example, but you can use the attribute 'env' as well.

Thank you @eirikpre It's nice to regard linting as a task. But I think it's not very convenient since I let the linter automatically run when saving files. Is it possible to automatically run a task on saving the file?

[eirikpre]

Yes, I'm certain I've seen an extension that runs a task on save :) I haven't tried it myself, but maybe this will do the trick? https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=emeraldwalk.RunOnSave

Thank you @eirikpre ! I think you can refer to that extension since it can run commands with predicated Variables. If the parsing function is found, this issue can be directly solved!

https://github.com/emeraldwalk/vscode-runonsave/blob/master/src/extension.ts#L195 I think what he did is just replacement.

Just keeping the task open to formally describe this on the wiki and remove the internal launch of linters :)
