For this particular case the simplest solution is to use print_raw:
print_raw("\""\"); print_raw(get_thread_name()); print_raw("\""\");
But as soon as print() finally ends up with:
const int written = vsnprintf(buffer, buflen, format, ap);
...
DEBUG_ONLY(warning("increase O_BUFLEN in ostream.hpp -- output truncated");)
Complete fix should be something like:
int desired_size = vsnprintf(NULL, 0, format, ap);
if (desired_size > O_BUFLEN) {
malloc
....
}
but it has performance penalty, so we should use some tricks to cover
most common %s/%d/%p cases.
