In ASL, division by zero or shift by negative values are dynamic errors.
However, what should happen when trying to apply such operation to a constraint set?
For example, what should be the type of
c
in:This PR says that the type of
c
, for the purpose of type-checking is the result of all non-faulting division between the constraints ofa
and the constraints ofb
, hence:integer {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10}
.The removal of
0
from the right hand side ofDIV
is implemented here as a warning to the user.
