Yes, but you need to have a location where to copy them to. They can’t be on the stack, since the logging task runs asynchronously. So each captured argument must be in some form heap allocated. Eg passing 2 strings as arguments and one integer might require 3 additional heap allocation - where the malloc/free overhead might outweigh the string formatting costs. You can try to optimize here with specialized allocators (eg Arenas) or trying to generate dedicated structures for each logging callsite where all arguments can be carried inside a single heap allocated struct (instead of 3 here). But that might lead to other disadvantages - eg code bloat.
