Thus spake D J Hawkey Jr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Is there an appreciable difference between "re-entrant" and "thread-safe"?
``Thread-safe'' just means that multiple threads can call the routine without something blowing up due to a race. ``Reentrant'' means that the routine is thread-safe, AND that multiple calls to it may proceed at the same time. That is, there isn't a big lock protecting the entire routine. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
