    reflect, cmd/internal/gc: look for pointer types by string before synthesizing · 2f0828ef
    Michael Hudson-Doyle authored
    The ptrto field of the type data cannot be relied on when dynamic linking: a
    type T may be defined in a module that makes no use of pointers to that type,
    but another module can contain a package that imports the first one and does use
    *T pointers.  The second module will end up defining type data for *T and a
    type.*T symbol pointing at it. It's important that calling .PtrTo() on the
    refect.Type for T returns this type data and not some synthesized object, so we
    need reflect to be able to find it!
    
    Fortunately, the reflect package already has a mechanism for doing this sort of
    thing: ChanOf/MapOf/etc look for pre-existing type data by name.  So this change
    just extends PtrTo() to consult this too, and changes the compiler to include
    pointer types in the data consulted when compiling for dynamic linking.
