-/* With MSVC runtime libraries with the "invalid parameter handler" concept,
-   functions like fprintf(), dup2(), or close() crash when the caller passes
-   an invalid argument.  But POSIX wants error codes (such as EINVAL or EBADF)

-   This file defines macros that turn such an invalid parameter notification
-   into a non-local exit.  An error code can then be produced at the target
-   of this exit.  You can thus write code like
