vorbisfile - segmentation fault

I am trying to write a simple program that uses vorbisfile shared library. But I get a segmentation error when I execute my program. My code is:

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;



#include <ogg/ogg.h>

#include <vorbis/codec.h>

#include <vorbis/vorbisenc.h>

#include <vorbis/vorbisfile.h>



int main() {

    

    OggVorbis_File * song;

    vorbis_info * songInfo;



    int result = ov_fopen("./song.ogg", song);

    if (result!=0){

            cout<<"failed";

            return 1;

    }



    ...

    

    return 0;

}

I am compiling the program with the following line:

g++ -lvorbisfile ogg.cpp

and I receive a Segmentation fault error if the song exists when the application is run. Can you help me with this?

The error is that you pass an uninitialized pointer to an 'OggVorbis_File' object, while the function expects an already existing object of this kind.
The following should get you closer to what you want:

Code:

OggVorbis_File song;



int result = ov_fopen("./song.ogg", &song);
