Can the following wording be nicer?

  The allocated memory for the buffer “new_opts” will be released
  only if a call of the function “parse_options” failed.

> The release for new_opts is added.

* How do you think about the change possibility to delete questionable
  source code here?

* Would you like to complete the data processing for corresponding options
  any more?

Please avoid typos also in your version comments.

I suggest to replace this second delimiter by a blank line.
