I've done a little bit of "lock-free" programming in Rust, but it's for very specialized situations.[1] This allocates and releases bits in a bitmap. The bitmap is intended to represent the slots in use in the Vulkan bindless texture index, which resides in the GPU. Can't read that those slots from the CPU side to see if an entry is in use. So in-use slots in that table have to be tracked with an external bitmap. This has no unsafe code. It's all done with compare and swap. There is locking here, but it's down at the hardware level within the compare and swap instruction. This is cleaner and more portable than relying on cross-CPU ordering of operations.
