+/* gcc-8 warns (*) on all the strncpy calls in this function about
+ possible string truncation. The "truncation" is not a bug. We
+ have an external representation of structs with fields that are not
+ necessarily NULL terminated and corresponding internal
+ representation fields that are one larger so that they can always
+ be NULL terminated.
+ gcc versions between 4.2 and 4.6 do not allow pragma control of
+ diagnostics inside functions, giving a hard error if you try to use
+ the finer control available with later versions.
+ gcc prior to 4.2 warns about diagnostic push and pop.
+ gcc-5, gcc-6 and gcc-7 warn that -Wstringop-truncation is unknown,
+ unless you also add #pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wpragma".
