    Don't truncate traceEvents to 512 bytes (#8309) · a82364c9
    Thomas Miedema authored
    Summary:
    Don't call postLogMsg to post a user msg, because it truncates messages to
    512 bytes.
    
    Rename traceCap_stderr and trace_stderr to vtraceCap_stderr and trace_stderr,
    to signal that they take a va_list (similar to vdebugBelch vs debugBelch).
    
    See #3874 for the original reason behind traceFormatUserMsg.
    
    See the commit msg in #9395 (d360d440) for a discussion about using
    null-terminated strings vs strings with an explicit length.
    
    Test Plan:
    Run `cabal install ghc-events` and inspect the result of `ghc-events show` on
    an eventlog file created with `ghc -eventlog Test.hs` and `./Test +RTS -l`,
    where Test.hs contains:
    
    ```
    import Debug.Trace
    main = traceEvent (replicate 510 'a' ++ "bcd") $ return ()
    ```
    
    Depends on D655.
