At the end of the running suture line, clips can be placed across the suture tail. Barbed suture is a knotless surgical suture that has a pattern of barbs on its surface.

    In the above, f() depends on a non-constant global variable v; thus, if f() is interrupted during execution by an ISR which modifies v, then reentry into f() will return the wrong value of v. The value of v and, therefore, the return value of f , cannot be predicted with confidence: they will vary depending on whether an interrupt modified v ...
