Crash only on Windows

I'd like to ask if anyone might be able to help with a mysterious crash on Windows.

R CMD check passes on all platforms (including Windows). See here for the Github Actions log.

However, it seems that some users are experiencing an R crash on Windows. However, they need to run a specific code example on some specific configuration on Windows to get the R crash.

Does anyone have experience using AddressSanitizer (ASAN) on Windows? I found this post, but it doesn't have enough details for me: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/addresssanitizer-asan-for-windows-with-msvc/

I have a hunch that we might resolve the crashing behavior if we could test R CMD check with ASAN on Windows. I would be delighted if there is some way to do this on Github Actions, for example.

Thanks for any help or comments!
