UNIT-VI
1. What are the different task states in RTOS?
2. Explain the rules that must be followed by an Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) in
an RTOS environment with their proper examples.
3. What are Reentrant functions? Explain how to decide if a given piece of function
code is reentrant.
4. Verify whether the following function is a reentrant? Justify your answer. If not,
modify it to make it reentrant.

void vNotReentrant (int x, int *p)
{
int y;
y = x * 2;
++p;
*p = 123;
iCount +=234;
printf(\n n new Count : %d", x);
}
