ASC 2.0 Preview 2 Bug - Conditional Compilation around a constructor fails

Question

Is this the right place to be reporting bugs?
Source class:
public class Something
CONFIG::debug
public function Something(id:uint)
CONFIG::release
public function Something()
In another class:
CONFIG::debug
var q:Something = new Something(10);
Compiling with Additional Compiler Arguments set to "-define+=CONFIG::debug,true -define+=CONFIG::release,false" results in the following warnings and errors:
    [mxmlc] Warning: return value for function 'Something' has no type declaration.
    [mxmlc]                               public function Something(id:uint)
    [mxmlc]                                               ^
    [mxmlc] Error: Incorrect number of arguments.  Expected no more than 0
    [mxmlc]                                         var q:Something = new Something(10);
    [mxmlc]                                                           ^

Answer 1

I could reproduce this issue with ASC 2. I've logged this as bug 3339009.
I'm guessing you have a more complex scenario in mind, but the workaround for this simple case might be to use default arguments to make the constructor parameter optional?
        public function Something(id:uint=0)
The bug does seem to impact constructors. Another workaround for now is to use a conditional factory pattern?
package
public class Something
    public function Something(id:uint=0)
        this.id = id;
      private var id:uint;
    CONFIG::debug {
        public static function createInstance(id:uint):Something
            return new Something(id);
   CONFIG::release {
        public static function createInstance():Something
            return new Something();
