Hi Eljay, Thanks for your reply. I am currently using the link as you specified below. I want to know specifically the exhausted function list on LAS 2.1. Is that list is sufficient? I have almost seven lacks lines of code. In addition, it is not possible for me to go through the each of source file and as a result, I need the list of functions so that I can use the list in a shell script to point out the source files. Moreover, Is malloc a thread-safe function?

The corresponding thread safe versions have the same name with a suffix of _r (for "re-entrant"). For instance, ctime() and ctime_r(). Bionic Buffalo lists these thread safe / unsafe functions: <http://www.tatanka.com/doc/technote/tn0105.pdf> HTH, --Eljay
