Without stubs, no change in behavior.
With both stubs, before the patch:
monitor_vprintf() is not supposed to run, and aborts
error_vprintf() calls g_test_message() for tests, else vfprintf()
afterwards:
monitor_vprintf() calls g_test_message() and succeeds in tests, else
fails
error_vprintf() calls monitor_printf(), and when it fails falls back
to vfprintf().
Alright, error_vprintf() behaves the same as before.
monitor_vprintf() no longer aborts. Hmm. What if we somehow acquire
calls? In tests, they'll go to g_test_message(), which is fine, I
guess. Outside tests, they'll fail. So does the non-stub version
unless the current monitor is HMP. Also fine, I guess.
Is it possible to link just one of the stubs?
