System-call implementations do not handle format values
See original GitHub issueWe’ve overloaded $error
etc to allow us to provide a consistent logging mechanism.
Unfortunately this implementation doesn’t handle format values appropriately.

We might have to port the extremely heavyweight implementation of

@pgfarley I think your last point is a non-issue, it can be solved with code like:
It looks to me like this is unfortunately going to be a more involved fix than handling the arguments over to vasprintf .
Issues:
So I think we’ll need to implement the string interpolation/formatting ourselves similar to what a simulator would do if it were handling the call to $info, $error, etc.
I can work on this but, as it’s a non trivial amount of new code, I wanted to run it by the list to see if anyone had a better idea.
