This is by design at the moment, we don't know which arguments escape so all arguments must be heap allocated. The command line client has a -unsafe option but I don't think that applies to vscode-go.

any workarounds?

I just ran into this. For me a functional work around was to use the internal buf of Builder (eg. string(b.buf))
