Is there any way to detect if end-of-line comments are supported?

Hello Dmitry,

I don't want to know if line comments are supported at all, but if a
line comment may be placed at the end of a line. E.g. line comments are
supported in a properties file, but it is not allowed to write something
like that:

key = value # some comment

Instead you have to write:

\# some comment
key = value

Both are line comments, and I would like to know that the first form is
invalid.

Commenter.getLineCommentPrefix() != null

To get a commenter from a language, use Language.getCommenter() in
Selena and LanguageCommenters.INSTANCE.forLanguage() in Diana.

Hello Martin,

Given an arbitrary PsiFile I would like to know if the
file/language/filetype at the current cursor location supports
end-of-line comments or not. E.g. in Java code a comment may be placed
at the end of the line, whereas in a properties file a comment must
start at the beginning of the line. Is there some possibility to get
this through either Language, FileType, or whatever else?

Commenter.getLineCommentPrefix() != null

To get a commenter from a language, use Language.getCommenter() in Selena
and LanguageCommenters.INSTANCE.forLanguage() in Diana.
