Does anyone know of any platform where integer division by zero
returns a number, or in other words, where it's not treated as an
error? I'm asking because division by zero is undefined behaviour, but
I think division by a constant zero should be a constraint instead.

 Division by a constant zero is a constraint violation in a context that
requires a constant expression.

Consider this sample
int main(){
     int a[1/0];
}
1/0 does not have a value in compile time,
So I believe compilers are making "a" a VLA because 1/0 is
not constant.
(But what old c89 compilers where doing in this case?)
This sample is a motivation to make integer divided by
zero a constrain.
