noreentrant functions on Linux Advance Server 2.1 using gcc 2.96

[Jyotirmoy Das]

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? 

Thanks,
Jyotirmoy

Hi Jyotirmoy,

The thread unsafe ones are all the ones that return a pointer to an 
internal buffer.

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:
