Hmm, concatenating consecutive string literals sort of works. Here's the
script:

====
probe begin
{
    # This works.
    str1 = "hello" " there"
    printf("%s\n", str1)

    # This does not.
    printf("hello" "there\n")
}

Here's the output of stap. It likes the first string concatenation, but not the
second.

====
# stap -v ./str2.stp 
parse error: expected ','
    saw: string 'there\n' at ./str2.stp:8:17
     source:     printf("hello" "there\n")
                                ^

1 parse error.
Pass 1: parsed user script and 103 library script(s) using
215108virt/33408res/6136shr/27996data kb, in 210usr/40sys/254real ms.
Pass 1: parse failed.  [man error::pass1]
