But if it is thread safe it can be reentrant nut must not be reentrant. Thread safety can be achieved also through other mechanism like for example semaphores or such things to serialize access. Thats why these are two differnet things. Please have a look at http://thread-safe.iqnaut.net then you will find out the difference. > > Currently I'm rewriting this parts which use convert_hostname_r to > use getaddrinfo, which is reentrant and which will check for all > known IPs, not only the first one.
