By the way, if you look at scream_and_die() and wonder why I’ve badly
overcomplicated it, it’s because a previous version presented a printf-like
interface to its callers. In stages, the callers stopped using it that way,
and the function itself evolved to where it couldn’t do printf-like things
anyway.
This simpler replacement suffices now:
void scream_and_die(const char* complaint)
{
LPTSTR syserr = 0;
FormatMessage(FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM |
FORMAT_MESSAGE_ALLOCATE_BUFFER, 0, GetLastError(),
MAKELANGID(LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_DEFAULT),
(LPTSTR)&syserr, 0, 0);
fprintf(stderr, "%s: %s (0x%x)\n", complaint, syserr, GetLastError());
exit(1);
}
