Description

The following code can compile on Darwin platform but on Linux platform we will get a compiler error.

swift build
Building for debugging...
DemoKit.swift:8:16: error: constructing an object of class type 'Delegate' with a metatype value must use a 'required' initializer
        return Delegate()
               ^~~~~~~~
Foundation.NSObject:2:12: note: selected non-required initializer 'init()'
    public init()
           ^
error: fatalError

Reproduction

Run swift package init to add a new empty package. And then update the main file to the following code.

import Foundation

class Box<Delegate: NSObject> {
    var delegate: NSObject {
        return Delegate()
    }
}

Expected behavior

Compile success on Linux.
