Weird.

va_start and va_end are invoked in String::format.

Why does createWithFormatAndArguments invoke va_end(args)?

How do you think?

Good catch, Fujii. Surely this function should call va_end(argsCopy), as Coverity suggests, but it should NOT call va_end(args).

>      va_end(args);

This should be removed, as well.

Good catch Fujii!

Also String::formatWithArguments() is not used at all. I will open a bug for removing it.
