    cmd/compile: avoid panic when printing *<N> · e41fb559
    Josh Bleecher Snyder authored
    When compiling the program:
    
    package p
    
    func _(){
    	*;:=
    }
    
    Before:
    
    x.go:4:3: syntax error: unexpected semicolon, expecting expression
    x.go:4:4: non-name *%!v(PANIC=runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference) on left side of :=
    x.go:5:1: syntax error: unexpected }, expecting expression
    
    After:
    
    x.go:4:3: syntax error: unexpected semicolon, expecting expression
    x.go:4:4: non-name *<N> on left side of :=
    x.go:5:1: syntax error: unexpected }, expecting expression
    
    No test because:
    
    (1) we don't have a good mechanism to check for the
        absence of the string "PANIC" in an error message
    (2) the string "*<N>", while better, is itself ugly enough
        that I don't want to actively check for it
    (3) the bug isn't very important, the kind of thing only fuzzers encounter
    (4) the fix is obvious and trivial
    
    Fixes #20220
