Please, move code like one below to a separate function rather than spreading
#ifdef _WIN32 all over the code.
#ifdef _WIN32
/* The implementation on Windows uses the Windows API */
char buf[256];
size_t n = getLastWinErrorString(buf, sizeof(buf));
if (n > 0) {
#else
char* buf = NULL;
const int error = errno;
if (error != 0) buf = strerror(error);
if (buf != NULL) {
#endif
