`snprintf`'s second parameter should be no greater than the number of
remaining bytes in the allocated object. We can see that this was off
by one, because in the simple case where `tail == tempname` (for a file
in the current directory), `rename_with_tmp` was passing `MAXPATHL + 2`
for an object allocated with a size of only `MAXPATHL + 1`.

make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install
To install to a non-default location:
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install
CMake hints for inspecting the build:
cmake --build build --target helplists all build targets.build/CMakeCache.txt(orcmake -LAH build/) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.build/compile_commands.jsonshows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.
