some functions
are never thread-safe, for example setlocale()
some functions are inherently thread-safe, for example memcpy()
some functions, such as malloc(),
can be made thread-safe by implementing the _mutex_* functions
other functions are only thread-safe if you pass
the appropriate arguments, for example tmpnam().
Threading problems might occur when your application makes
use of the ARM C library in a way that is hidden, for example, if
the compiler implicitly calls functions that you have not explicitly
called in your source code. Familiarity with the thread-safe C library
functions and C library functions that are not thread-safe can help
you to avoid this type of threading problem, although in general,
it is unlikely to arise.
