Hi Markus,

First of all, FYI, Spirit has its own mailing list:
Spirit-general_at_[hidden]
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spirit-general

I'm regularly reading this mailing list but I would want to
request that further discussion happen there so that other
Spirit users may see your post.

Try:

    all =
        *(cpp_comment[actor_string(comment_c)] |anychar_p)
        ;

Notice the Star. Also, anychar_p should probably be replaced by your 
assignment rule.

I think it is better to work on the character level rather
than the phrase level. I suggest taking out the skip parser
"space_p".

HTH,
