GetLastError() 和 FormatMessage()

DWORD error; 

error = GetLastError();
printf("GetLastError is : %d/n",error);

 LPVOID buffer;
::FormatMessage(FORMAT_MESSAGE_ALLOCATE_BUFFER | FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM,
      NULL,
      error,
      0,
      (LPTSTR)&buffer,
      0,
      NULL );

printf("The Error is : %s /n", buffer);

 MSDN：

  You should call the GetLastError function immediately when a function's return value indicates that such a call will return useful data. That is because some functions call SetLastError with a zero when they succeed, wiping out the error code set by the most recently failed function.
