+/// This function is safe to call as long as `exit` is only ever invoked from Rust. However, the C
+/// standard does not permit multiple threads to call `exit` concurrently. Rust mitigates this with
+/// a lock, but if C code calls `exit`, that can still cause undefined behavior. Note that returning
+/// from `main` is equivalent to calling `exit`.
+/// Therefore, it is undefeined behavior to have two concurrent threads perform the following
+/// without synchronization:
+/// - One thread calls Rust's `exit` function or returns from Rust's `main` function
+/// - Another thread calls the C function `exit` or `quick_exit`, or returns from C's `main` function
