+/* 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".
