Reentrant?

I rarely ask questions on this forum, but since I couldn't [easily] find it in the help-files, or on-line, I'm asking you guys.

I usually (like never) don't use the 'reentrant' pragma, but I think I may have to do that with a particular routine.

BUT I can't find the key-word that declares a function as reentrant. Am I missing something? Is there one for Keil's IDE tools? If so, what is its form? Can I get a link to the 'official' use of it?

Thanks in advance, and I need it asap because I need to pass this class and I don't want to really learn how to do this 'embedded' stuff anyway but the teacher keeps hounding me.

  • That is necessary, but not sufficient.

    It is a very common failing of so-called "user" documentation that it is written by people who are intimately familiar with the product - this is, usually, just what the user does not require!

    What the user reading the documentation requires is stuff that is accessible to someone who does not already know the product!

    The author and his/her peers are probably too familiar with the product - so you also need a proof-reader who can take a user-eye view...
