Daniel Martí ba6974fdc3 cmd/compile: fix crash on invalid struct literal
If one tries to use promoted fields in a struct literal, the compiler
errors correctly. However, if the embedded fields are of struct pointer
type, the field.Type.Sym.Name expression below panics.

This is because field.Type.Sym is nil in that case. We can simply use
field.Sym.Name in this piece of code though, as it only concerns
embedded fields, in which case what we are after is the field name.

Added a test mirroring fixedbugs/issue23609.go, but with pointer types.

Fixes #26416.

The test directory contains tests of the Go tool chain and runtime. It includes black box tests, regression tests, and error output tests. They are run as part of all.bash.

To run just these tests, execute:

../bin/go run run.go

Standard library tests should be written as regular Go tests in the appropriate package.

The tool chain and runtime also have regular Go tests in their packages. The main reasons to add a new test to this directory are:

  • it is most naturally expressed using the test runner; or
  • it is also applicable to gccgo and other Go tool chains.
