How does bindings.nativeAddress work?

In the context of the V8 JavaScript engine, bindings.nativeAddress is a method that allows Node.js to get the memory address of a C++ addon module loaded with bindings.native. When a Node.js application loads a native addon module written in C++ with bindings.native, the module is compiled as a shared library that can be dynamically linked to the Node.js runtime. The bindings.nativeAddress method provides a simple way to get the memory address of the shared library at runtime, which can be useful for advanced use cases such as debugging and profiling. The bindings.nativeAddress method takes the name of the shared library as its argument, and returns the memory address of the shared library as a hexadecimal string. For example, the following code gets the memory address of a native addon module called myaddon: javascript Copy code {{{{{{{ const bindings = require('bindings'); const address = bindings.nativeAddress('myaddon'); console.log(address); In this example, we use the bindings method to load the myaddon shared library, and then call the nativeAddress method to get its memory address. The memory address is stored in the address variable, and is then logged to the console using console.log(). Overall, bindings.nativeAddress provides a simple and convenient way to get the memory address of a C++ addon module loaded with bindings.native in Node.js, making it easier to perform advanced tasks such as debugging and profiling.

const bindings = require("bindings");
const address = bindings.nativeAddress("myaddon");

console.log(address);

In this code, we use the bindings method to load the myaddon shared library and expose its functions and objects as a JavaScript object. We then call the nativeAddress method on this object to get the memory address of the shared library. The memory address is stored in the address variable, and is then logged to the console using console.log(). Note that the exact format of the memory address will depend on the platform and architecture of the system running the Node.js application. Overall, bindings.nativeAddress provides a simple and convenient way to get the memory address of a C++ addon module loaded with bindings.native in Node.js, making it easier to perform advanced tasks such as debugging and profiling.
