how to "skip" php "exit" command?

Question

I have following piece of code which I can't modify.

if ( empty($post->comment_status) ) {
            do_action('comment_id_not_found', $comment_post_ID);
            exit;
    }

I can create function called during do_action processing (hooks in wordpress).

function my_function () {
   //do something
}
add_action('comment_id_not_found', 'my_function');

Is it possible to skip the exit; command in the condition?

Thanks

No, it's obviously going to run as soon as do_action is executed - Why can't you change the code? — Rudi Visser

you can't override exit(), so why not force the comment_status to be non-empty? — Marc B

Or you could throw some exception while having this code run in catch block... — Cthulhu

@cthulhu that is an ugly solution... but I think it's probably the only one that would work. — Orangepill

One possible solution said to be ugly would be to throw exception in you function while having all code you can't modify run in try block. That is, if you can put it in try-catch.

exit is a statement, there is no way to get around it and no way to modify it. The only way to avoid it is to make sure that your code doesn't pass by it. (eg. if(FALSE) exit; won't exit but in this: do_something(); exit; do_something_else(); the function do_something_else() will not be called.)
