The following code doesn't compile. Before submitting a bug, I wanted to check here to make sure that I'm not missing something obvious.
func outer() {
var value = 0
func inner(n: Int = value) {}
inner()
}
Compilation succeeds if you remove the invocation of inner.
Can you add which Swift version you're using, and what kind of error you're seeing? That compiles and runs without error for me in Swift 5.1.
In Xcode 11.3.1, the compiler crashes.

Yes, sorry, I should've included that from the outset.

Ah, it looks like I'm on the 5.2-dev toolchain, not 5.1. So it may already be fixed!
This is fixed in 5.2. It’s actually in the changelog: swift/CHANGELOG.md at main · apple/swift · GitHub (see SR-2189).
Fantastic. That was incredibly timely. Thanks guys.
