[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/5] avformat/mpeg: Don't free unintialized pointer

In order to fix a potential memleak upon failure, 0b8956b2 made sure that
a buffer given by a pointer was freed upon error. But this pointer was
only initialized upon use and in several cases (Clang gives no fewer
than 13 -Wsometimes-uninitialized warnings) this meant that an
uninitialized pointer was used to free a buffer. So initialize the
pointer.

Was 0b8956b2 ever sent to the ML before it got pushed? I couldn't find
it. And what does CID mean?
