[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] Fix avfilter_open wrong 0-sized allocations

Hi, av_malloc() and av_mallocz() when called with a size of 0 will
return a 16 aligned block, so that the pads and inputs/outputs will
result non-NULL.

The patch should improve safety, and force those fields to be set to 0
when the corresponding size is 0, allowing nullness checks on the
pointers.

Regards.
