Description
While Go's built-in data race detector remains a best-in-industry tool, by design Go's race detector has a mutex blind spot:
Modeling locks as synchronization points causes blind spots, but this was likely a design decision made to ensure high performance and no false positives
As a result, adding property-based race detection, specifically for finding mutex lock race conditions, would be quite useful to add to rapid.
In an Erlang quickcheck paper there are details on how they are able to use parallel property-based testing to find race conditions, and it would be nice if these mechanisms were supported by Rapid.
