| Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib: |
| @itemize |
| @item |
| This function prefers readers to writers (meaning, when this function is |
| called on an rwlock that is already taken by one or more readers, and |
| another writer is already waiting to take it, this function may return |
| successfully immediately) -- a behaviour that may lead to writer starvation -- |
| on some platforms: |
| glibc 2.28. |
