libctf: lookup_by_name: do not return success for nonexistent pointer types
The recent work allowing lookups of pointers in child dicts when the pointed-to type is in the parent dict broke the case where a pointer type that does not exist at all is looked up: we mistakenly return the pointed-to type, which is likely not a pointer at all. This causes considerable confusion. Fixed, with a new testcase. libctf/ChangeLog 2021-01-19 Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com> * ctf-lookup.c (ctf_lookup_by_name_internal): Do not return the base type if looking up a nonexistent pointer type. * testsuite/libctf-regression/pptrtab*: Test it.
