Code inspection: Division by zero in at least one execution path

This inspection reports integer division where the divisor can be 0 on at least one execution path.

Example

                int Divide(int value, bool useZero)
                {
                    var divisor = useZero ? 0 : 2;
                    return value / divisor;
                }
            

                int Divide(int value, bool useZero)
                {
                    var divisor = useZero ? 0 : 2;
                    if (divisor == 0)
                        return 0;
                    return value / divisor;
                }
            

Quick-fix

There is no dedicated quick-fix for this inspection. A typical correction is to ensure the divisor cannot be zero before the division happens.
