Multithreading
by earl, 8025 days ago
reentrant - Describes a function which can be called simultaneously by multiple threads when each invocation of the function references unique data. Calling a reentrant function simultaneously with the same data is not safe, and such invocations should be serialized. thread-safe - Describes a function which can be called simultaneously by multiple threads when each invocation references shared data. Calling a thread-safe function simultaneously with the same data is safe, since all access to the shared data are serialized.
