For `semaphore` this could look like this:

```c++
#include <atomic>
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>

template <typename A, typename Fn>
void cxx_atomic_wait(A *, Fn &&fn, std::memory_order mo);

struct semaphore {
    std::atomic<std::ptrdiff_t> a_{};

    bool try_acquire_impl(std::ptrdiff_t &value) {
        do {
            if (value == 0) {
                return false;
            }
        } while (!a_.compare_exchange_weak(value, value - 1,
                                           std::memory_order_acquire,
                                           std::memory_order_relaxed));
        return true;
    }

    static constexpr auto acquire_initial_load_mo = std::memory_order_relaxed;

    bool try_acquire() {
        auto old = a_.load(acquire_initial_load_mo);
        return try_acquire_impl(old);
    }

    void acquire() {
        using namespace std::placeholders;
        cxx_atomic_wait(&a_, std::bind(&semaphore::try_acquire_impl, this, _1),
                        acquire_initial_load_mo);
    }
};
```

Just for fun I could even use `std::bind` in `acquire()` to really make it clear that no custom (lambda) logic is needed there.

Also, the initial load can be `relaxed`, and `compare_exchange_weak` can be used instead of `compare_exchange_strong` since it's called in a loop anyway.
