bug#65030: 30.0.50; Check keyword args of make-process

[Helmut Eller]

The functions make-process and make-network-process have many keyword
arguments and it's somewhat easy to misspell some of them.  E.g. using
:coding-system instead of :coding.  These functions don't detect such
mistakes at runtime.  What would people think about adding some checks
as a compiler macro as with the patch below?

I didn't know where to put this, so I just left it in bytecomp.el.

Perhaps the advertised-calling-convention declaration could do this, but
since keyword arguments seem to be generally discouraged, a special case
for make-process and make-network-process maybe simpler.

Subject: [PATCH] Check keyword args of make-process

The functions make-process and make-network-process have many
keyword args and it's easy to misspell some of them.

Use a compiler macro to warn about some possible mistakes.

* lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp.el (bytecomp--check-keyword-args): New
  helper.
  (make-process, make-network-process): Define a compiler macro that
  performs some checks but doesn't anything else.

* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp-tests.el: Add some tests.

* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp-resources/:
  (warn-make-process-missing-keyword-arg.el,
   warn-make-process-missing-keyword-value.el,
   warn-make-process-repeated-keyword-arg.el,
   warn-make-process-unknown-keyword-arg.el): New test files
