Exit() of child process not counted

[woytam]

I have found out, that if child process exited by function exit() with return code 0, it is not handled as process termination in flexible pool. The reason is in code reactphp-child-process-messenger/src/Factory.php#L211, where for exitCode zero is not thrown error

if ($exitCode === 0) {
   return;
}

If child process calls exit(), Flexible pool will still count this child, although process is terminated.

There is question, how to resolve this. I have a few ideas: 1) Is there important to ignore exitCode === 0 in Messenger? 2) Try to catch exit event on React\ChildProcess\Process 3) Add to documentation, it is important to Terminate child process with non-zero exit codes to keep Flexible pool working.

Well it was never designed to use exit() to be honest 🤐 . Will do 3 for sure and try to see if 2 is possible 👍
