Spell checker for comments, strings, maybe more

Question

I am looking for a spell checker for c++ source code. Unfortunately all I can find is Visual Studio specific. I would like something which works on Linux.

Edit:

Ultimately I want to automate it in some way. I am not very proficient in spell checking, but what I am thinking of is a not-interactive console tool which prints error messages, or something like that.

Personally I use vim, but not everyone on the project does of course.

Currently we are using svn so it is possible to integrate it into the pre-commit-hook maybe? Don't you guys do something similar?

Answer 1

Eclipse (Java based so will do mac, linux etc.) has spellcheckers built in. With the CDT plugin you can edit and build C++ code.

Answer 2

Vim also supports spell checking.
