Description
Compiling the code below with latest MSVC (cl 19.51.36244) and the flags -std:c++20 -MD -O2 -Zc:__cplusplus -Zc:preprocessor -sdl gives the error:
include\stdexec\__detail\__basic_sender.hpp(443) : error C4789: in function 'main' buffer '' of size 12 bytes will be overrun; 8 bytes will be written starting at offset 11
It might be a false positive but I'm not sure and thought it might be worth reporting.
BTW: It's an error only because of -sdl and can be downgraded back to a warning with /w14789
#include <stdexec/execution.hpp>
using namespace stdexec;
auto main() -> int {
auto work = just() | let_value([] { return just(); });
sync_wait(just(uintptr_t{0})
| let_value([unused_capture = 0, unused_capture2 = work](uintptr_t /*unused_value*/) { return just(); }));
}

Research direction
Start with the minimal C++20 reproduction and the reported diagnostic at include\stdexec__detail__basic_sender.hpp line 443. Compile with MSVC 19.51.36244 using the listed flags, including -sdl, and compare the result with /w14789. Done means determining whether C4789 is a false positive and identifying the relevant behavior in stdexec.
