[v12.x] node-api: allow retrieval of add-on file name #37328

Conversation

Unlike JS-only modules, native add-ons are always associated with a
dynamic shared object from which they are loaded. Being able to
retrieve its absolute path is important to native-only add-ons, i.e.
add-ons that are not themselves being loaded from a JS-only module
located in the same package as the native add-on itself.

Currently, the file name is obtained at environment construction time
from the JS module.filename. Nevertheless, the presence of module
is not required, because the file name could also be passed in via a
private property added onto exports from the process.dlopen
binding.

As an attempt at future-proofing, the file name is provided as a URL,
i.e. prefixed with the file:// protocol.

The solution to the conflict in this backport backport consists of restoring the names of the macros used in the test:

Whereas on the main branch it was

  • NODE_API_CALL, and
  • DECLARE_NODE_API_GETTER,

on this branch it is the old

  • NAPI_CALL, and
  • DECLARE_NAPI_GETTER
