+// - whether the malloc() family supports the last-error code is undefined
+// - the HeapAlloc() family DOES NOT support the last-error code; you're supposed to use Windows exceptions, and I can't find a clean way to do this with MinGW-w64 that doesn't rely on inline assembly or external libraries (unless they added __try/__except blocks)
