Subject: bug#60311: json-available-p: make dynamically correct for Windows
Date: Sun, 25 Dec 2022 15:32:06 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
The implementation of `json-available-p`,

  (and (fboundp 'json-serialize)
       (condition-case nil
           (json-serialize t)
         (:success t)
         (json-unavailable nil))))

probably isn't quite right on Windows: `json-serialize` is pure so it will be called at compile time and the result, "true", used in the code (actually not even that since the result is never used). Thus, if libjansson could not be loaded during actual Emacs use (as opposed to when Emacs was built), this would never be detected and json-available-p would still return t.

The patch below should take care of this. Would someone please help testing it on Windows?
