      Description

      When FormatMessageA is used with flag FORMAT_MESSAGE_ALLOCATE_BUFFER
      specified, the allocated buffer has to be freed after usage with LocalFree.

      See the documentation of FormatMessage :

      https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/winbase/nf-winbase-formatmessage

      This is not always done.
