Subject: [PATCH] (perl #132245) don't try to process a char range with no
 preceding char
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A range like \N{}-0 eventually results in compilation failing, but
before that, get_and_check_backslash_N_name() attempts to treat
the memory before the empty output of \N{} as a character.

Petr Písař: Ported to 5.26.1.
