That's something that Rust fully supports with panic handlers. Doing arbitrary work before the process goes down is useful and supported. (But you will have to be running Linux in a non-default configuration for it to be reliable, of course!)

Thanks, that's good to know!

Of course. It does seem to work in practice with our C++ code, although probably that's due to our usage pattern.
