Thread safe is usually referring to a function or object being simulatenously entered or accessed by multiple threads while it is able to ensure that shared data is not corrupted.

In order to make your function or class thread safe, you can make it reentrant so that there is no shared data. If shared data is needed, you can use mutex to limit such that only a thread can access the function or object at any time.
