Bug regarding precedence of sizeof?

While answering this question I realized that ICC got it wrong about precedence of sizeof and []

#include <iostream>

int main() {
std::cout << (sizeof(int)["abcdefghij"]) << '\n';
}

It should be parsed as sizeof((int)["abcdefghij"]) because [] has higher precedence than sizeof which will result in a compilation error. But ICC 21.1.9 does compile it and prints "e" which is "abcdefghij"[sizeof(int)]

Demo on Godbolt

From the above link we can see that other compilers report an error as expected

This seems to be a bug in icpc. icpx does give an error as expected. Will icpx work for you or you would like to see it fixed?

Thanks,

It isn't important to me since I don't use it for work. Just report it so you guys know that there's a bug
