Subject: os_posix: Print complete, attempted command line when execute() fails
X-Git-Url: https://git.cworth.org/git?p=apitrace;a=commitdiff_plain;h=b3381e6a8fcad8fc1e3ddd816eac127b0e254850

os_posix: Print complete, attempted command line when execute() fails

Previously, only argv[0] was printed which did not provide much
information to the user about why the command might have
failed. Printing the entire command line allows the user to more
easily investigate the problem.
