Well, yes and no. The code I linked to in the pastebin is what demonstrates the 
issue. The code in question is Apple’s libdispatch which I package separately 
as well as part of Swift. In that situation they’re using a C++ file that uses 
the underlying primitives in stdatomic in macros for their own higher-level 
functions, thus why stdatomic is ultimately being invoked.
