I agree with the approach.
Can we move the hardcoded "512" to a #define within src/common/tracer.h ?
Thanks,

This patch was intended for 2.12, no src/common/tracer.h there.
Also this patch is brocken, as a va_list cant be iterated twice.

You should post feature patches against the master branch. Or if you just
want to send a RFC, and you work on an older branch, please state that the
patch is RFC and which branch the patch is against, but that work won't
be merged unless it's rebased against master.

Right. But you could easily do:
va_start() [ first use ] va_end()
then
va_start() [ second use ] va_end(), right ?
Thanks,
Mathieu

Yeah, I read the contributing guide since then, sorry =)

New patch vs master does this.
