This should work:
#include <iostream>
#include <aspell/manager.hh>
#include <aspell/check.hh>
#include <aspell/config.hh>
#include <aspell/clone_ptr-t.hh>
int main() {
using namespace aspell;
Manager manager("");
CheckState<string::const_iterator> state(manager);
string line;
vector<string> errors;
getline(cin, line);
line += '\n';
state.restart(line.begin(), line.end());
// initializes the state with the string
// needs to be done when ever the string changed.
while (state.advance(),
// advanced the state from the last error or from the beggining
check(state),
// checks the string stopping at the next error
!state.at_end()
// it the state is at the end there are no more errors
)
{
errors.push_back(state.word());
}
// print out all the errors.
for (int i = 0; i != errors.size(); ++i) {
cout << errors[i] << "\n";
}
}
When compiling remember to link it with the aspell library using "-laspell".
The CheckState stuff is not very stable so be aware that this may change
a bit between releases. Let me know if you have any other problems.
