[BUG] `Pyarmor 9.2.1 causing unknown crashes`
Firstly, it is confirmed that this issue does not occur in Pyarmor version 9.2.0. Current situation: When packaging a PyQt6 application using Pyarmor, the application fails to launch properly and crashes immediately. However, the crash reason cannot be retrieved via the console; the error can only be directly observed through the Resource Monitor.

Maybe pyarmor cfg name += value doesn't work as expected in windows shell, the current value of cflags is only -DENABLE_PYAPI_REFCNT
Well, make sure the final value of cflags is
-O3 -Wno-unsequenced -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -fno-unwind-tables --target=x86_64-elf-windows -c -DENABLE_BCC_MEMSET -DENABLE_PYAPI_REFCNT
Fixed in v9.2.2, it should not need extra cflags -DENABLE_PYAPI_REFCNT for BCC mode in Windows.x86_64
