Nvfortran ICE with type specification in character array constructor

Accelerated Computing HPC Compilers nvc, nvc++ and nvfortran
1

The following code ICEs with nvfortran 21.5:

  character(8) :: x
  print *, [character(len(x(1:2))) :: 'a', 'b']
end

% nvfortran pr100950.f90
NVFORTRAN-S-0000-Internal compiler error. size_of: attempt to size assumed size character       0  (pr100950.f90: 2)
NVFORTRAN-S-0000-Internal compiler error. size_of: attempt to size assumed size character       0  (pr100950.f90: 2)
  0 inform,   0 warnings,   2 severes, 0 fatal for MAIN

The code compiles with NAG and Intel (and currently ICEs also with gfortran).

% nvfortran -V

Thanks anlauf. This looks to be the same issue as another report from last week: Declaration of constant character array fails

I’ll add your post to the same problem report, TPR #30168.
