  • src/sbbs3/js_global.cpp main.cpp services.cpp src/xpdev/ini_file.c mul

    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/js_global.cpp main.cpp services.cpp src/xpdev/ini_file.c multisock.c sockwrap.c sockwrap.h
    Log Message:
    xpdev: add SOCKET_STRERROR_BUFLEN, adopt at all socket_strerror() call sites

    Define a recommended buffer length for socket_strerror() output in
    sockwrap.h next to the SOCKET_STRERROR macro, so future call sites
    have a discoverable, single-source-of-truth constant rather than
    hand-picking a size each time:

    #define SOCKET_STRERROR_BUFLEN 256

    Replace the literal [256] (and the previously-fixed [128]) with this
    constant at all 11 existing call sites:

    xpdev/sockwrap.c retry_bind()
    xpdev/multisock.c xpms_add(), read_socket()
    xpdev/ini_file.c iniGetSocketOptions()
    sbbs3/main.cpp output_thread()
    sbbs3/services.cpp open_socket_cb(), close_socket(), cleanup(),
    service_udp_sock_cb(), services_thread()
    sbbs3/js_global.cpp js_system_get(), js_socket_strerror()

    The value 256 is empirically sufficient for current Windows WSA error descriptions (the longest observed is WSAESHUTDOWN's localized text at
    ~135 bytes); a future bump for a longer message is now a one-line
    change to the macro.
