For example, accidentally sharing a lock-less cache or a non-atomic reference counted pointer between threads.

For example this code, which tries to send a reference-counted pointer between threads, which can cause the reference counter to become unsynchronized and random use-after-free:

    use std::thread;
    use std::rc::Rc;

    fn main() {
        let rcs = Rc::new("Hello, World!".to_string());
    
        let thread_rcs = rcs.clone();
        thread::spawn(move || {
            println!("{}", thread_rcs);
        });
    }

Is detected by the compiler and causes this error
