context cancellation in exec.CommandContext and os.Exit

[Manlio Perillo]

Hi.

Suppose I have a program that spawns a process with exec.CommandContex and, in a signal handler, cancel the context and calls os.Exit(1).

Is it possible, in theory, that the program exits before the process is actually terminated?

Thanks

Yes.

Never call os.Exit when you still has work to be done.
Even defers are skipped.

I know.  os.Exit is called in a signal handler.

Thanks
