Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Hi all,

In traverselisp.el, i use cl stuff with
(eval-when-compile (require 'cl)) at start of file.
I have functions that are like:
(defun* foo (&key a b)...

They all work fine after compiling file.

However, i have one new function that don't work when compiling file but
work as normal when loading the .el file, or evaluate the function with
C-M x.

I wonder why.
It seem that variables coming from key arg and evaluated in a cond clause
don't work when compiled and evaluated from compiled file (.elc).

Here is the output of:

(symbol-function 'traverse-auto-document-lisp-buffer)
After loading only .elc file.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#[(&rest --cl-rest--) "\306>A@.\307>A@..\2038.@\310>\203!.AA\211.\202.\203Y.\344

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Here is the same after evaluation of .el file or function with C-M x:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(lambda (&rest --cl-rest--) "Not documented

(fn &key TYPE PREFIX)" (let* ((type ...) (prefix ...)) (let (...) (while --cl-keys-- ...)) (block traverse-auto-document-lisp-buffer (let* ... ... ... ... ... ...))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So here it is normal and the function work as intended.
When using the function from .elc file, i have no error, the function
just return nil, even with debug-on-error turned on.

Here the function:
