Thank you all for the replies. The only reason they where returning strings was
because It was a place holder I didn't think I could define a proc with out it
actually containing something. I am coming from python and still transitioning
so I was using python logic and was abit off I see. I see
There's a simpler way to change the codepage

> Is Nim enough mature for let a nim-newbie do that
Nim is fine for that task. When you can do it in any other language, then doing
it in Nim is no problem. When you have no idea how to do it at all, then it may
take some time.
A GTK3 board can be done with a few lines of code, for example see
thanks, and I found
echo type("text") is string
I am just curious why chrome and doc procedures return strings. If you not need
result of these procedures just not set type of return value. And yes, if you
need these strings you should use them or discard them.
And if you want to echo result of procedures I can suggest a variant with
"case"
Hi everybody, I'm very new in Nim and I would have a chance to try it.
My idea is to implement a simple interface for an
[isola-game](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isola_%28board_game%29) engine in
Nim. Maybe in the future I could work for the AI of the engine but for now I
think that it can
Sorry, no idea for your widecstring and unicode questions. How is that handled
from C?
Your cint conversion should be not necessary, the compiler will pass int
literals correctly to library functions, so
xlSheetWriteStrW(sheet, 2, 1,
#xlSheetWriteStrW(sheet, cint(2), cint(1),
this is what I get currently. Most functions in libxl can be exposed in the
same way
But something still puzzled me, or I have not know yet in nim:
1. for xlBookAddSheetW, the last arg is SheetHandle initSheet actually. But I
used int. How to cast a number to SheetHandle?
2. how to judge
Annotate the forwarded proc with `{.gcsafe.}`.
There are two errors one can say. First of all, you call chrome() and doc() but
you don't do anything with the string that they return. Add echo before like
echo chrome() at least.
Secondly, the procs don't actually return the string, you just create a local
var x and assign it, but you forgot
Well your proc chrome() returns a string. In Nim returned values are not
silently discarded by default, unless you apply discardable pragma to the proc.
So you can write in your code
echo chrome()
var myStr = chrome()
discard chrome()
Or, if you really intent to

While c2nim does a very good job in binding generation, it is helpful if one
has some C knowledge and additional has a basic understanding of the library to
wrap, because it can be hard to guess what C header files really intent.
Cant for the life of me figure it out. Probably doesn't help I am little new to
this. I know its simple but I cant see it. Help would be appreciated. Sorry in
advance for the newbyness.

the first question, I translated
typedef struct tagBookHandle * BookHandle;
to
type
tagBookHandle* {.final, incompleteStruct, importc: "tagBookHandle".} =
object
BookHandle* {.importc: "BookHandle".} = ptr tagBookHandle
Am I right?
