This shadows the r variable. Did you mean "for (size_t i = ROUNDS; i--)"?

Thus, this takes the address of the for loop's r variable, not the volatile one
that the thread is accessing. Is that what you wanted?

BTW, is the C++ lambda too broken to access the r via lexical scoping?
Why can't the APC just do "--r".

I believe local functions in Pascal from 1971 can do this.
