Is core.internal.atomic.atomicFetchAdd implementation really lock free?

claptrap, Max,
Keep in mind that D is not "portable assembly", neither is C or
C++. The druntime library follows (afaict) that logic everywhere.
The documentation of atomicFetchAdd could be more clear and
explain "lock free", because that does not have a clear meaning
in D language context.
If you want the guarantee that the machine code contains specific
instructions, you _have_ to write assembly instructions yourself
(which you can do in D as in C and C++).
regards,
Johan
