I see you started from the stable release tarball. There is a pubic repo
here: https://www.retrodev.com/repos/blastem (it was down earlier today
due to an ill-timed server upgrade, but is back now). I realize
Mercurial is a bit unfashionable these days, but I believe there is a
bridge that allows git to interop with it. Pulling from the public repo
will make it easier for me to accept your changes upstream. Assuming
that's what you want anyway.

That said, I took a quick peek at some of your commits and some of them
look questionable. For instance this one:
https://gitlab.com/coringao/blastem/commit/3b201d6826be36d8f5ab37e1e979c0e3b875c4f0

arg_arr is indeed leaked in that function, but that change won't fix the
leak and will instead break the function. I've fixed it upstream (thanks
for bringing it to my attention), but I'm a little concerned about how
you're going about these.

I think something may have gotten lost in translation here and I don't
understand what you're trying to say. Could you try rephrasing that?

Mike
