Response:
Reentrancy is the ability of code to be executed simultaneously by
more than one process. It requires that the code not change the state
of any global object, such as global variables or hardware. Any code
compiled by the C compiler that uses only automatic variables will be
reentrant only if the library functions used by the code are also
reentrant.
Note Most library routines are not reentrant, nor is MS-DOS or BIOS.
