Something that is concerning me is that in the example a "rows" variable and a "columns" variable get declared as unsigned int rows; unsigned short columns; and then they get passed as arguments to freexl_worksheet_dimensions as &rows, &columns like this ret = freexl_worksheet_dimensions (handle, &rows, &columns); In scheme I am NOT declaring anything because I don't now how to I am just passing void pointers to freexl_worksheet_dimensions But when you declare a variable of some type, some memory gets reserved for the value to be contained in that variable, right ? But I am passing void pointers here, so is any memory region being reserved ? I'm afraid not That might be the reason why I get garbage rows numbers. Because I am making it read some random memory region that has been already reserved for something else, that's already populated with God knows what and I am making it interpreting that stuff as numbers. I don't know, I'm speaking freely, here, this is a wild hypothesis I can't make so much sense of this code Please bear with me :-/ Thanks in advance
