This code is misleading and I have to fix this.
The device needs a slot to complete a transmission.

Ah, it occurs double free. I'll fix it.

I see. It's reasonable.

Okay, I'll rewrite it in consideration of error case.

I see.

Yes.

Okay, I'll add this.

I see.
I'll refer to this header and its examples, and rewrite it to be suitable
for 32-bit and 64-bit hosts.
