If a type scanned is undefined, type format routines have two behaviors depending on if FORMAT_TYPE_ALLOW_INVALID is used by the caller or not: - Issue a cache lookup error - Return an undefined type name "???", "???[]" or "-" The current interface is not really helpful for callers willing to format properly a type name, but still make sure that the type is defined as there could be types matching the strings generated when looking for an undefined type, even if that should not be a problem in practice. In order to counter that, add a new flag called FORMAT_TYPE_INVALID_AS_NULL that returns a NULL result instead of "??? or "-" which does not generate an error. This flag will be used in a follow-up patch improving the set of SQL functions showing information for object addresses when it comes to undefined objects.
