Misaligned line ;-) Here and on some other places.

The @tmp just leaked if VIR_APPEND_ELEMENT() fails. How about:

1) moving the variable declaration into this while() loop,
2) calling VIR_FREE(tmp) just before this goto error;

So if VIR_ALLOC() fails, @table is left uninitialized and passed to
vshTableFree(). That calls for a trouble. I'm surprised compiler doesn't
care (it does in more stupid cases).

It's nice to give others credit, but the arguments make no sense to me.
mbs_safe_encode_size ain't no libvirt function. But
vshTableSafeEncodeSize() is.

Also, since we don't need the intermediate buffer anywhere, nor the safe
buffer size can we merge those two functions together? This would have
also a benefit of not duplicating some operations (e.g. strlen).

Moreover, safechars is always NULL. Do we need that argument?

NB, do we need to re-encode the string? All that we care about is its
width, isn't it?

Please keep these two blocks separate. One block for variables
declaration, the other for code.

I don't see need for this typecast here or anywhere else within the
function.

Or simply:

i = header ? 0 : 1;

There's also a possibillty of plain i = header, but that is very ugly.
As it relies on TRUE/FALSE being 1/0. However, the ternary operator is
just fine.

Not saying this doesn't work, but it is suboptimal because on each call
virBufferAddStr() has to calculate strlen() of those one character long
strings. I don't think compiler is clever enough to see this and
calculate the length upfront like it's doing so with static strings.

No need to fiddle with warning mask anymore since you're printing to a
buffer.

Again, ternary operator is your friend:

header = ctl ? !ctl->quiet : true;

Yup, as you already pointed out, @out needs to be freed.
