Description

I find it's hard to find suitable IDE to work with your platform. I end up using Visual Studio 2019 with C++ and now including emscripten.h causes 627 errors on Intellisense

I tried to ignore them by setting CAExecludePaths but none of them working.

If you really care about future about WASM then please fix this issue otherwise many developers will leave WASM eco system.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate why emscripten.h causes Intellisense errors in Visual Studio 2019. Check for non standard C++ constructs or preprocessor macros that confuse the VS IntelliSense engine. Consider using ` INTELLISENSE ` guards or adjusting header declarations to improve compatibility.
