gen_server:terminate/2 question

[Yogish Baliga]

I have a gen_server process listening for events on message bus. These messages are placed in its message box.  The processing of these messages is  slower than the rate of incoming message. 

When I stop the application (supervisor of which is a parent of the above mentioned gen-server), Will this gen_server get the terminate/2 call immediately or only after all the messages are processed OR should I have a wait logic in the terminate function to wait for the message box to be cleared?

Thanx,
