Bug? Strange error raised by `ifort -check shape`

Hello!

 

I have encountered a strange error raised by `ifort -check shape` with `ifort (IFORT) 2021.2.0 20210228`. Here is a minimal working example.

! testshape.f90
program testshape
implicit none
integer :: a(1, 2)
a(:, 1:2) = a(:, 1:2) ! This line is OK. Benchmark for the erroneous line.
a(:, [1, 2]) = a(:, [1, 2]) ! Do nothing ..., but it triggers the error.
end program testshape

Name this code as `testshape.f90`, and then compile it. Here is what happens on my machine (Ubuntu 20.04).

```
$ ifort -check shape testshape.f90
testshape.f90(7): error #5581: Shape mismatch: The extent of dimension 1 of array A is 1 and the corresponding extent of array <RHS expression> is 2
a(:, [1, 2]) = a(:, [1, 2]) ! Do nothing ..., but it triggers the error.
^
compilation aborted for testshape.f90 (code 1)
```

If we remove `-check shape` or replace it with `-warn shape`, then everything works.

Did I misunderstand array indexing or miscalculate something in the code? Thank you for your attention.

The bug is not present in older versions of Ifort, such as 2013SP1 and 2016.0.8.

Thank you for the verification. It seems that `-check shape` has not been available until 2018:

Thank you.
