    Selam,

    reentrant için ne önerirsiniz?

    re-entrant

       <programming> Used to describe code which can have multiple
       simultaneous, interleaved, or nested invocations which will
       not interfere with each other. This is important for
       parallel processing, recursive functions or subroutines,
       and interrupt handling.

       It is usually easy to arrange for multiple invocations
       (e.g. calls to a subroutine) to share one copy of the code and
       any read-only data but, for the code to be re-entrant, each
       invocation must use its own copy of any modifiable data (or
       synchronised access to shared data). This is most often
       achieved using a stack and allocating local variables in a
       new stack frame for each invocation. Alternatively, the
       caller may pass in a pointer to a block of memory which that
       invocation can use (usually for outputting the result) or the
       code may allocate some memory on a heap, especially if the
       data must survive after the routine returns.

       Re-entrant code is often found in system software, such as
       operating systems and teleprocessing monitors. It is also
       a crucial component of multithreaded programs where the term
       "thread-safe" is often used instead of "re-entrant".

    Esen kalın,
