Review Comment:
   Yes but my point is, is short guaranteed to be atomic without locking ? 
atomic_short can be forwarded to stdatomic which can use locks to implement the 
read-modify-write. On some architectures only the natural datawidth can be 
handled atomically by the hardware.
   
   So should we use u64 as semcount for u64 architectures, u32 for u32 
architectures etc?
