Special font for lines with suffix

Special font for lines with suffix

[Meekohi]

When debugging code, I tend to put in hacks, and then I forget to take
them out later. What I'd like is to be able to end a line with "//!"
or something similar and have emacs increase the font-size (or
something similar) to make it stand out visually. I don't know how to
get started. Any advice or recommendations on how to accomplish this?

I would try:

(font-lock-add-keywords nil '("^.*//!.*" 0 font-lock-warning-face prepend))

Hi Pascal thanks so much that is perfect :) For any interested users
that come along later, I ended up specifically using:

(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook (lambda () (font-lock-add-keywords nil
'(("//!.*" 0 font-lock-warning-face t)))))

because highlighting the whole line turned out to be very distracting.
