generally it is not good to use exit in lib. It shouldn't be blocker for this review, but would be possible to redesign this in the future?
Mhh, good question. Iirc ::exit is called in two places:
1) In Collage after a fork() in the child process, used to launch nodes 2) In Equalizer for render client exits
1) is imo legit. Do you agree? 2) Is a tricky one: An Equalizer application executable can also be used as a render client. To make this work, one of the initialization functions takes over and never returns. Therefore it has to call exit. Iirc the method doing that can be overwritten. Ideas?
