Comment char improvements [message #644275]

Hi,

I write an editor for a language who has a different comment char then '#'.

The way is implemented now in the dltk core classes, makes difficult to change this.

Example

ScriptSourceViewerConfiguration has a nice method getCommentPrefix, and is easy to override, since anyway every language will define a class that extends this

class ScriptCommentScanner has a deprecated method getCommentChar that is still used, so I have to create a class that extends the ScriptCommentScanner, and override the getCommentChar.

worse class TodoTaskBuildParticipant in findCommentStart use hard coded the # so I have again to override this and copy the exact functionality of the upper class and change the comment char.

Can you please add a single place where the comment char is defined ( maybe TextTools).

Hi Marius,

You are right those methods can be improved.
Thank you for reporting this.
I want to make some other improvements in ScriptSourceViewerConfiguration and I'll look at methods dealing with comments as well.

Please stay tuned.

Regards,
Alex
