VI Properties, Execution, Reentrant execution Tutorial

[d.w.b]

Is there a tutorial, how-to guide, or documentation about how reentrant VIs work, their requirements, and/or gotchas (prior to 8.5 improvements)?

Have you seen this?

[d.w.b]

Yes. I think the type of reentrancy was new in 8.5. Information about the mechanics is beneficial but I actually want something like a checklist that covers what a reentrant VI should or shouldn't do to work right/best.

I used reentrant VIs in two of my Nuggets (Occurences and Save-Restore) and the side-bar discusions chased down most of the challenges of using them.

You can find them here and here.

The only other note I can offer is that if you single step into a reentrant call (in LV 8.2 or 8.5 ?) and stopped the VI, LV would crash. THe work-around was to back out of the sub-VI call and then stop.

By "side-bar" discussions do you mean the 58 replies to each Nugget?
