Remarks

Create a type from a buffer that is pointing to a reference to the type in the context.

This routine is recursive, and so it must protect against references that cause infinite recursion. This is done by removing the buffer from the hash when it is being read. If a loop exists it will find a null entry, which triggers a failure.
