Sieve of Eratosthenes in 0(n) time complexity

The classical Sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm takes O(N log (log N)) time to find all prime numbers less than N. In this article, a modified Sieve is discussed that works in O(N) time.
Example : 

Given a number N, print all prime 
numbers smaller than N

Input :  int N = 15
Output : 2 3 5 7 11 13

Input : int N = 20
Output : 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19

Manipulated Sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm works as follows: 
 

For every number i where i varies from 2 to N-1:
    Check if the number is prime. If the number
    is prime, store it in prime array.

For every prime numbers j less than or equal to the smallest  
prime factor p of i:
    Mark all numbers i*p as non_prime.
    Mark smallest prime factor of i*p as j

Below is the implementation of the above idea.

// prime[] : stores all prime number less than N
// SPF[] that store smallest prime factor of number
// [for Exp : smallest prime factor of '8' and '16'
// is '2' so we put SPF[8] = 2 , SPF[16] = 2 ]
vector<long long >isprime(MAX_SIZE , true);
vector<long long >prime;
vector<long long >SPF(MAX_SIZE);
 
// function generate all prime number less than N in O(n)
void manipulated_seive(int N)
{
    // 0 and 1 are not prime
    isprime[0] = isprime[1] = false ;
