noun phrase
métodos não thread-safe
1. Methods or functions in programming that cannot be safely called by multiple threads simultaneously without causing data corruption or unpredictable behavior
Non-thread-safe methods can cause race conditions when accessed concurrently by multiple threads.

2. Programming routines that do not provide protection mechanisms such as locks or synchronization to handle concurrent access

This is technical jargon primarily used in software development and computer science communities in both Brazil and the USA. In Brazil, developers typically use the English term 'thread-safe' directly, but Portuguese translations are used in formal documentation and educational settings. The term reflects the global nature of software engineering where English technical terminology is widely adopted internationally.
