From 746175a27290fde76a0eae8bfb296d1a0bbabc69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Dawson Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2022 17:39:41 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] node-api: handle no support for external buffers Refs: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/35801 Refs: https://github.com/nodejs/abi-stable-node/issues/441 Electron recently dropped support for external buffers. Provide a way for addon authors to: - hide the methods to create external buffers so they can avoid using them if they want the broadest compatibility. - call the methods that create external buffers at runtime to check if external buffers are supported and either use them or not based on the return code.
