[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/3] fftools/cmdutils: Add function to report error before exit

[Andreas Rheinhardt <andreas.rheinhardt@outlook.com>]

This is designed to improve and unify error handling for
allocation failures for the many (often small) allocations that we have
in the fftools. These typically either don't return an error message
or an error message that is not really helpful to the user
and can be replaced by a generic error message without loss of
information.
