Create Intellisense database from the command line?

Question

The Question

Is it possible to build the Intellisense database for a solution (C++) at the command line?

The Context

I work on a fairly large C++ codebase. The code takes a while to compile so I set up a local nightly automated build that I can grab any time I want to start a new task. I would like to create the Intellisense database for the solutions of the codebase during this nightly build. We are using Visual Studio 2013.

Answer 1

According to this answer on MSDN, it is (sadly) not possible:

It is not possible to create this file without running VS, it is not a scenario the team designed/planned for.
