Support for EdgeJS

[bgattinger]

Are there any plans to add support for edge-js?

What is not working?

Its basically this issue: agracio/edge-js#243

Whenever execution inside the pkg executable reaches edge-js it throws a System.AccessViolationException. No one seems to know exactly why.

You can clone this super simple repo here: https://github.com/[agracio/edge-js-pkg](https://github.com/agracio/edge-js-pkg)
and follow the instructions to run it and reproduce the issue

Could you paste me here the entire error?

Messing around with the pkg configuration and changing the way the edge-js module native is loaded get's me a little more information. For example, in this next snapshot, I have another Javascript project which has a module called nodes7commplus as a dependency, which in turn has edge-js as a dependency. If I navigate to node_modules\edge-js and run:

node-gyp build -debug

It creates a build\Debug folder inside node_modules\edge-js which contains:

• edge_nativeclr.node

along with a bunch of other .node and .lib files. In this setup, I take those .node and .lib files an load them into edgeJsBuild/v18.5.0/Release folder within node_modules/nodes7commplus, and set the process.env.EDGE_NATIVE environment variable in nodeS7CommPlus.js before requiring edge-js.

After packing everything into an executable via pkg and running the executable I get the same error, but this time it tells me that it is originating from node_modules\edge-js\src\common\v8synchronizationcontext.cpp:line 43

sorry but I have not too much time to invest on this. I'm happy to accept PR if you find a way to make it work or I can give you suggestions. What I suggest is to patch edge.js source code in node_modules till you fix the issues and then write a patch for it
