I think my description is not accurate. Forgive me for being a non-native

The variable 'bitmap_name' assignment maybe failed at the beginning of the 
block, because reading the 's->bitmap_alias' maybe failed.

I see what you mean. Separate variable declarations from variable assignments.
You're right!  I will update it later.

Thanks,
