It solves problems with alignment of columns. Width of each column
is calculated by its biggest cell. Should solve unicode bug.
In future, it may be implemented in virsh, virt-admin...

This API has 5 public functions:
- vshTableNew - adds new table and defines its header
- vshTableRowAppend - appends new row (for same number of columns as in
header)
- vshTablePrintToStdout
- vshTablePrintToString
- vshTableFree

After asking around I have found the right solution that we need to use
for measuring string width.  mbstowcs()/wcswidth() will get the answer
wrong wrt zero-width characters, combining characters, non-printable
characters, etc. We need to use the libunistring library:

  https://www.gnu.org/software/libunistring/manual/libunistring.html#uniwidth_002eh

I've tried what you've suggested, but it seems that it doesn't work
well with all unicode characters. I'm looking into the code of the
library, and each function uN_strwidth calls function uN_width, and
that function calls uc_width for calculation of width of characters.
And if we look into the code of uc_width here:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob;f=lib/uniwidth/width.c;h=269cfc77f50a3b9802e5fb5620ff8bcf95e05e40;hb=HEAD#l415
it seems that this library is limited only to certain unicodes, e.g.:
hangul characters, angle brackets, CJK characters... But it doesn't
cover all multiple-width characters. Example: I try to throw any emoji
(e.g. 🙉, 🦀, 🏙), it returns width of 1 column for each charact
er, nevertheless these characters have width of 2 columns on terminal.

BTW, it seems unistring library imports those funcions from gnulib.

I guess the only option then is to try smartcols [1]. If it is good for
util-linux it's going to be good for us too. Although, I'd prefer to
have our own wrappers over their API.

The util-linux code does something that uses mbstowcs / wcwidth to
convert the characters and count their width, sort of like the original
version of this patch. They have further code that decides to convert
certain unicode characters into "\xNN" escaped sequences, which avoids
the problems I raised wrt non-printable strings.

   https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/blob/master/lib/mbsalign.c

So we could pull that helper API into our code, since its LGPL loicensed.
I'm unclear if this correctly handles all the cases or not though as
there's no unit tests for it in util-linux AFACT.

Really the only way for us to be sure is to provide a unit test which
stresses our the code with a variety of unicode input strings.

Regards,
Daniel

About unit tests. Right now i've got tests for non-pritnable, zero-
width, combining characters and opposite (rigth to left) writing.
Anybody got any idea what else could be problematic with
mbstowcs()/wcswidth(), and therefore tested?

I think that sounds reasonable enough for now - passing such tests would
already be massively better than the code  that exists today with strlen()

Whatever solution you use for converting a multi-byte string to a
maximum count of characters, please put it in a separate function.
That would make this function more readable.

Rather than having both 'header' and 'toStdout' arguments, I think
having only 'header' and returning the result in a virBuffer would be
nicer than having if (toStdout) before every single print...

... here you alread set header based on ctl->quiet.

Since vshPrint and vshPrintExtra differ only in whether the extra stuff
gets printed, calling vshTablePrint to get the string, then vshPrint
on that would achieve the same result. (at the expense of extra string
copy, which should not matter in virsh).

Note that unfortnately libunistring is "GPLv2+ or LGPLv3+", so is not
compatible with libvirt.so

It is fine to use it from virsh since that's free to be GPLv2+ only,
but we mustn't link libunistring to libvirt.so.  So any helper func
would have to stay in the tools dir just for virsh/virt-admin
