Non-reentrant functions

strtok(): infamous non-reentrant function

今天看到自己程序中竟然在多线程调用情况下使用了这个函数，太吃惊了。

1. Multi-thread

2. Signal handler

Non-reentrant functions:

       #include <string.h>

       char *strtok(char *str, const char *delim);

       char *strtok_r(char *str, const char *delim, char **saveptr) <Re-entrant version>

     #include <netdb.h>

    #include <sys/socket.h>

     struct hostent *gethostbyname(const char *name);

     int gethostbyname_r(const char *name,
         struct hostent *ret, char *buf, size_t buflen) <Re-entrant version>

      struct hostent * gethostbyaddr(const void *addr, int len, int type);
       int gethostent_r(
         struct hostent *ret, char *buf, size_t buflen,
         struct hostent **result, int *h_errnop) <Re-entrant version>

      getservbyname

      gerservbyport

  

       #include <time.h>   

       char *asctime(const struct tm *tm);
       char *asctime_r(const struct tm *tm, char *buf);

       char *ctime(const time_t *timep);
       char *ctime_r(const time_t *timep, char *buf);

       struct tm *gmtime(const time_t *timep);
       struct tm *gmtime_r(const time_t *timep, struct tm *result);

       struct tm *localtime(const time_t *timep);
       struct tm *localtime_r(const time_t *timep, struct tm *result);

I/O functions are usually not re-entrant

process wide variable: errno, h_errno
