Problém (R1):
Kapitola 7, sekce Condition Variables, demo The Queue Demo Application.
Race condition a UB (undefined behavior):
1) Spustí se Consumer thread.
2) Proměnná data je přidána do kolekce - m_ConsumerThreads.push_back(std::move(data));
3) Consumer thread si hned vyzvedne data (auto& data = m_ConsumerThreads[index];). Race - aplikace asi necrashuje, protože bylo voláno m_ConsumerThreads.reserve(consumers); - ale sáhne si na neinicializovaná data v m_ConsumerThreads a může se updatova jiný objekt. Pokud Consumer thread naběhne až poté, co jsou data přidána, vše je OK.


m_ConsumerThreads.clear();
m_ConsumerThreads.reserve(consumers);
for (int i = 0; i < consumers; i++) {
ConsumerThreadData data;
data.hThread.reset(::CreateThread(nullptr, 0, [](auto p) {
return m_pThis->ConsumerThread(PtrToLong(p));
}, LongToPtr(i), 0, nullptr));
if (!data.hThread) {
abort = true;
break;
}
m_ConsumerThreads.push_back(std::move(data));
}
if (abort) {
::SetEvent(m_hAbortEvent.get());
return;
}


DWORD CMainDlg::ConsumerThread(int index) {
auto& data = m_ConsumerThreads[index];
auto tick = ::GetTickCount64();

More practical than "Windows Internals" with a lot of code snippets, interesting applications and introduction of tools that helps understand Windows under the hood.
