Winerr
In any quality program you have to handle and report errors. When
reporting errors from the operating system, it is
>crucial> that you give as much information as
possible to the user. Many functions of the Win32 API set an error
code which can be retrieved using
GetLastError().
You can obtain a description of the error using
FormatMessage(), but using it is an absolute
horror. winerr is a very thin wrapper around
FormatMessage() and
GetLastError() similar in many aspects to C's
strerror().
The overhead of winerr is minimal; the static library is less than one kilobyte in size, and most probably you won't use all of the functions so that your linker will not use the whole library.
