Compilation warning on newer node versions: v8 has a new ArrayBuffer BackingStore API

[felixdivo]

I get this output by node-gyp rebuild (invoked using scripts/build.sh) on Node version v14.10.1:

I didn't include it in #734 as I don't really know any v8 internals.

#723 is supposed to solve the compiling error on Node.js >= 14

@felixdivo thanks for your contributions recently, we have a small group of teams where developers could plan/discuss for the rclnodejs project, and if you are interested in and want to contact others closely, I'd like to invite you to join the teams, thanks!

Oops, sorry I mean slack, Teams is used in Intel...

Ah great, so we can just add "closes # 635" to that PR. Nice that it's already being tackled!

I've kinda used up my current free time with a few contributions the last days :P but when I'm feeling like doing some more in this project, I'm happy to join! Thanks! :)

[minggangw]

Never mind, none of us works on the project full-time, so welcome 🚀

[minggangw]

Hi @felixdivo I haven't seen you in the slack channel of rclnodejs, if you met any problem, please send me your email address and I will send the invitation again.

Hey @minggangw, sorry for not writing about this, but I retreated to other projects.
