COMPILER BUG (ICE): constant empty array of character

[DataScientist]

Is the following code standard compliant?

```fortran

character, parameter :: strvec(*) = [character(1)::]

character(*), parameter :: colseqbeg = maxval(strvec)

end

```

If so,  then both ifort/ifx have an internal compiler bug.

This is a continuation of the earlier discussion on this thread.

Even if your code is not standard-compliant, an ICE is always a compiler bug.

I filed bug, CMPLRLLVM-51073, for the ICE. Thanks for reporting it.

The Fortran compiler team melted this ICE. Look for that in the 2024.2 version of ifx. That is planned for release in mid-2024.

fantastic! Thank you for your update here.
