// Yes folks, apparently strerror() is unsafe (it's not reentrant, but that's not the point of the MSVC security functions; that's about buffer overflows, and as you'll soon see there really is no need for what the "safe' version is given reentrancy concerns), and not only that, but the replacement, strerror_s(), requires copying and allocation! it's almost like they were TRYING to shove as many error conditions as possible in!
// Oh, and you can't just use _sys_errlist[] to bypass this, because even that has a deprecation warning, telling you to use strerror() instead, which in turn sends you back to strerror_s()!
// Of course, the fact _sys_errlist[] is a thing and that it's deprecated out of security and not reentrancy shows that the error strings returned by strerror()/strerror_s() are static and unchanging throughout the lifetime of the program, so a truly reentrant strerror_s() would just return the raw const string array directly, or a placeholder like "unknown error" otherwise, but that would be too easy!
// And even better, there's no way to get the length of the error message, so you can't even dynamically allocate a large enough buffer if you wanted to!
// (Furthermore, cppreference.com says there's strerrorlen_s(), but a) fuck C11, and b) MSDN does not concur.)
// So, alas, you'll have to live with just having the error code; sorry.
