Is the following code bugless in your opinion ?

  #include <string.h>
  #include <stdio.h>
  int main() {
          char* ch = strndup("test", 4);
          printf("%s\n", ch);
          delete ch;
          return 0;
  }

Can do that as well, if you don't need debugging messages anymore.
Or we can have log_debug take temporary std::string for the sole
purpose of adding the terminating null..

But really is just an optimization, as long as you're modifying
that code anyway what is it worth ?
