Assuming you call exec, of course. To not call exec after vfork is not an option; one of the many ways the fork family of functions are fundamentally broken.

Well, without undefined behavior you can also call _exit(), continue within the same function, and receive conforming signals. Unfortunately this isn't always spelled out and there's code out there that definitely does other work invoking undefined behavior.
