How to get a list of thread un-safe functions

[tharinda.gl]

Hi,
We are going to create a list of thread unsafe functions that
should be avoided (and find out their thread safe or re-entrant
versions). Is there a list of such functions for standard c library as
well as for the posix APIs. I failed to get a good result by searching
the web

Thanks in advance!

You are OT in this group.

Some are defined in the POSIX 1.c document others depends on
implementation (locked or thread local specific).

I found the pthreads book by Butenhof to cover some thread unsafe c
library functions and their _r thread safe counterparts. No sure if
the treatment was comprehensive or not.

Thank everyone, I will go through the references that you have
mentioned above.
