nounpl: reentrant methods
métodos reentrantes
1. In programming, methods or functions that can be safely called multiple times concurrently or recursively without causing data corruption or unexpected behavior, typically because they do not maintain state between calls or use thread-safe mechanisms
Reentrant methods are essential in multithreaded applications to prevent race conditions and data corruption.
Métodos reentrantes são essenciais em aplicações multithreaded para prevenir condições de corrida e corrupção de dados.
2. Functions designed to be interrupted and called again before the previous invocation has completed, maintaining correct behavior through proper synchronization or stateless design
The developer ensured all library functions were reentrant methods to support concurrent access.
O desenvolvedor garantiu que todas as funções da biblioteca fossem métodos reentrantes para suportar acesso concorrente.
This is a technical term primarily used in software engineering communities in both Brazil and the USA. It is especially important in discussions about multithreaded programming, concurrent systems, and API design. The term is used identically across both countries and Portuguese-speaking tech communities, reflecting the international nature of software development.
