thread 'rustc' panicked at 'begin <= end (2 <= 0) when slicing

[dwrensha]

I'm seeing an internal compiler error on the input "\n#!B\n" (found by fuzz-rustc):

$ cat main.rs

#!B
$ rustc main.rs
thread 'rustc' panicked at 'begin <= end (2 <= 0) when slicing `
#!B
`', /rustc/b2e36e6c2d229126b59e892c9147fbb68115d292/src/libcore/str/mod.rs:1920:47
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

error: internal compiler error: unexpected panic

note: the compiler unexpectedly panicked. this is a bug.

note: we would appreciate a bug report: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#bug-reports

note: rustc 1.44.0-nightly (b2e36e6c2 2020-04-22) running on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Error is similar to #70677. @rcoh is this possibly related?

Will do a quick investigation and find out

The error probably originates from:

Line 98 in 235938d

let text: &str = &self.src[start_src_index..self.end_src_index];

@rustbot claim

[spastorino]

Assigning P-low as discussed as part of the Prioritization Working Group process and removing I-prioritize.

[LeSeulArtichaut]

Should we add the need-bisection label?

this also looks suspicious: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/71372/files
