Yeah, as that Rust issue states, this was first replicated by a C++ programmer and STL (the person, not the Microsoft name for the C++ stdlib) said it looks like a bug in SRWLock.

There's a Microsoft internal ticket which I can't read (but STL can because he's a Microsoft employee) but there's also a GitHub issue for STL (this time the stdlib, a GitHub project, although it was opened by the person) https://github.com/microsoft/STL/issues/4448 and it's confirmed in that issue this is a bug in SRWLock, thus no work for STL† (either the project or the person).

It's not unusual (especially in C++ but this happens anywhere) that people would rather contort themselves to believe crazy things than accept that it's just a bug.

† Both Windows and C++ holds themselves to a very low standard, "Yeah, it's broken, too bad" is acceptable. Once you've determined that it's a bug you're done.

Wow, thanks for the links. I was previously unaware of this issue. I checked the referenced bug and I see that it is fixed and will be released in an upcoming version of Windows.
