Greetings,
Does Groovy safely support re-entrant and multi-entrant calls? What I
mean by that is the following:
Re-entrant: on a single OS thread - my Java program calls into Groovy,
then Groovy calls into my Java application, and then the Java
application calls back into Groovy. So the stack has Java, Groovy,
JAVA, and then Groovy again.
Multi-entrant: my Java application has many threads. One of my threads
calls into Groovy. Then, while one thread is still in Groovy, another
thread evokes Groovy. So now we have two calls into Groovy by two
independent Java/OS threads running at the same time.
this is actually difficult to answer. The runtime system is designed to
be safe for multi entrant usages (minus bugs of course). But just like
in Java that does not mean all parts of the API are safe for this usage,
not even groovy.lang
