Linux tool to check spelling of comments in c/c++ source code


What software do you suggest to check spelling of comments contained in c/c++ source code (especially doxygen comments)? I'm looking something that will parse only comments so I can easily find mistakes and correct them.

The question is general but to be more specific - I'm using CodeLite IDE.


Solution

  • Emacs has ispell-comments-and-strings which works pretty well from inside the editor. It relies on the syntax highlighting mechanism to identify comments and strings, so it works with any language for which you have good highlighting.

    No idea if how you make it work with your IDE.
