A linux-uvc thread.
Hi, linux-uvc package is a kernel module for USB Video Class. It supports MacBook internal iSight camera, and some newer Logitec USB video devices. I'd like to consolidate the feedback I get about this package on this thread, to hopefully make finding them easier. At least, easier than having conversation in private email.

It it meant to free up the allocated memory space and the file handle when
either operation
fails (a kind of expression found at the beginning of many functions). But one
is trying to
free up a NULL pointer, and that probably means read/write to a
location where it is probably (or hopefully) not allocated to the program.
Either the MS library checks for NULL every time it is called (I think that's
kinda nice, but
then, it is a waste), or NULL might be a place you can dump things on.
One thing. To make it run on Linux, I had to change it to:

davidturetsky> >if (bitsofmemory)free(bitsofmemory); if(f)fclose(f) /* try

Reading this I am wondering if you actually did allocate memory for the
variables, or even did you do the right thing?
for example, getting input for a double with scanf will require you doing
something like
double a;
scanf("%g", &a);
You can even do double a; scanf("%g", a); and it might still work on MS
compiler, it won't on gcc.
That was my personal experience migrating my own code.
I found many invalid pointers in my code.
MSC seems to be very "relaxed" in handling invalid pointers.
Linux is very harsh and kills your app with a segfault as soon as you try to
access it.
For example, this code segfaults on Linux, which used to work perfectly fine on
MSC:
char * bitsofmemory = malloc (BIG_SIZE); FILE*f =fopen(FILENAME, ATTRIBUTE);
if (!(bitsofmemory && f)) {
free(bitsofmemory); fclose(f) /* try to clean up and it dies...*/
return ERROR;
