Is it possible to add in the devcontainer name into the build directory automatically?

Hey,

We have multiple devcontainers (using the Devcontainers extension) that targets different build targets and architectures. Whenever we switch container we need to clean cache and recocfigure the projects as the build/ directory is common.
Is it possible to setup the cmake-tools extension to add in the active devcontainer name as a suffix to the build directory so when we switch devcontainers we can proceed with zero overhead ?
E.g two containers named : x86-64 and arm64 would use ${workspaceFolder}/build-x86-64 and ${workspaceFolder}/build-arm64 respectively?

Thanks & BR,

Ferenc

@ferenj-gs There is not any support for this from the extension currently.

From a very quick search, I don't see a way to interact with the Devcontainers extension in that way, and so I'm not sure this will be able to be supported.
