Run tool/task directly after generation phase

[itavero]

Is there a way to run a tool/task after the generation phase of CMake using this extension (or CMake itself)?

I need to run a tool after the generation phase to extend the compilation database for some analysis tool.

@itavero Yes, and no, depending on exactly what you want. We do provide a configure task, that is run through the tasks.json. Therefore, if you want to run your tool/task and have it depend on running a cmake configure, then it would first run configure and then run your task.

However, I'm not sure there is a clean way to set up a task to always run after another task is ran.
