vscode not killing child processes

[ghost]

when you do child_process.spawn, the new process is a child of Code, but when Code quit the children process do not, is this intended?

@azumikav are you spawning processes from an extension?

[ghost]

yes.

[alexdima]

@azumikav The right think to do here is for VSCode to call deactivate on extensions on shutdown and for extensions to clean up on shutdown.

With 98473e0, VSCode's extension host will now call deactivate() if extensions export it and call dispose() on ExtensionContext.subscriptions on shutdown, then will wait 1s before exiting
