Issue Description
A crash occurs when using the library in C++ projects that attempt to initialize mutex objects in constexpr contexts. This violates C++ standard requirements as mutex constructors cannot be valid constexpr due to their runtime resource initialization needs.
Root Cause Analysis
As documented in Microsoft's STL Issue #4730, synchronization primitives cannot safely be initialized at compile time. The original implementation mistakenly marked mutex constructors as constexpr-qualified, leading to:
Undefined behavior per C++ standard §[thread.mutex.requirements]
Runtime crashes from accessing uninitialized kernel objects (Windows)
Static initialization order hazards
Fix Implementation
Adopted the proven solution from STL implementations by:
Adding _disable_constexpr_mutex_constructor macro
Conditionally removing constexpr qualifiers (matches MSVC/Clang/GCC behavior)
Ensuring runtime initialization aligns with OS synchronization primitive requirements
Verification
Validated against:
Windows 11 MSVC 2022 (v143) - repro case from STL#4730
Clang 17 (C++20 mode)
GCC 13.2 (C++17/C++20)
Tests confirm:
✔️ Elimination of static initialization crashes
✔️ Proper mutex state initialization sequence
✔️ Zero ABI impact through macro isolation
Standards Compliance
Aligns with:
C++ Standard [thread.mutex.requirements]
Microsoft STL implementation guidelines (STL#4730)
POSIX/Windows synchronization primitive constraints
##Suggested Review Focus
Macro isolation pattern vs alternative approaches
Cross-platform compilation validation
ABI stability verification
