12416,Windows: shared_mutex::state_data exceptions thrown in synthetic tests,Tomer Gal <Tomer.Gal@…>,viboes,"Hi,
My name is Tomer Gal.

We have created synthetic benchmarks in which we create many threads. This causes shared_mutex to throw an exception when it has more than 2047 waiting threads due to the following limits:
        struct state_data
        {
            unsigned shared_count:11,
                shared_waiting:11,
                exclusive:1,
                upgrade:1,
                exclusive_waiting:7,
                exclusive_waiting_blocked:1;

Obviously, creating more than 2047 threads waiting for a lock is too much for 'normal' code... however, the boost library shouldn't be the limiting factor for such a usage in my opinion.

The state_data is currently limited to the size of(long) which is 32 bits, and it looks like it could be increased to 64 bits.

Could this be fixed?
