[swift-users] Where to report this bug?

[Martin R]

But the purpose of 

    func dividedReportingOverflow(by other: Int <apple-reference-documentation://hsf4N66ABq>) -> (partialValue: Int <apple-reference-documentation://hsf4N66ABq>, overflow: Bool <apple-reference-documentation://hsvynwdxKM>)

is to report an overflow in the return value. And actually this compiles and runs in Xcode 9 if the code is on top-level in main.m:

    let minusOne = -1
    let r1 = Int.min.dividedReportingOverflow(by: minusOne)
    print(r1) // (partialValue: -9223372036854775808, overflow: true)
    
    let zero = 0
    let r2 = Int.min.dividedReportingOverflow(by: zero)
    print(r2) // (partialValue: -9223372036854775808, overflow: true)

But the same code inside a function (or do-block) fails to compile:

    func foo() {
        let minusOne = -1
        let r1 = Int.min.dividedReportingOverflow(by: minusOne)
        // error: division '-9223372036854775808 / -1' results in an overflow
        print(r1)
        
        let zero = 0
        let r2 = Int.min.dividedReportingOverflow(by: zero)
        // error: division by zero
        print(r2)
   }
