[Emacs-diffs] master 2dd8044: Fix process leak with make-network-process

[Paul Eggert]

branch: master
commit 2dd8044bfb61efc368c590b1285fdbca54606152
Author: Paul Eggert <address@hidden>
Commit: Paul Eggert <address@hidden>

    Fix process leak with make-network-process
    
    This problem was introduced by the recent async changes (Bug#23808).
    * src/process.c (Fmake_process): Move USE_SAFE_ALLOCA later,
    so that it follows the start_process_unwind unwind-protect.
    Set pid to -1 while the process is being created.
    (start_process_unwind): Omit unnecessary emacs_abort test.
    (connect_network_socket): Simplify use of counts.  Unwind
    bind_polling_period a bit earlier, so that a remove_process
    unwind-protect can be added when needed; this is the heart of
    the fix.  Undo the unwind-protect just before returning.
