 Fixed-size buffers and strncpy really don't belong in an example of a
 Boost lib... ;)

 boost_1_39_0\libs\spirit\classic\example\fundamental\comments.cpp:
 {{{
 void actor_cpp (const char *pfirst, const char *plast)
 {
     cout << "Parsing C++-comment" <<endl;
     cout << "Matched (" << plast-pfirst << ") characters: ";

     char cbbuffer[128];

     strncpy(cbbuffer, pfirst, plast-pfirst);
     cbbuffer[plast-pfirst] = '\0';

     cout << "\"" << cbbuffer << "\"" << endl;
 }
 }}}
