[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 6/6] avutil/hwcontext_qsv: Remove redundant check

[Andreas Rheinhardt]

It has already been checked immediately before that said
AVDictionaryEntry exists; checking again is redundant.
Furthermore, av_hwdevice_find_type_by_name() requires its argument
to be non-NULL, so adding a codepath that automatically calls it
with that parameter is nonsense. The same goes for the argument
corresponding to %s.

Fixes Coverity issue 1491394.

If one wanted to sanitize something here, one should check for
"if (e && e->value)" instead. Or unconditionally error out if (e &&
!e->value).
