No ability to compare ThreadSafeFunction and Function

[kuzenko]

As I see now there is not possibility to compare these two types (Function inherits Value, and ThreadSafeFunction don't), are there any solutions for that? Thanks.

Hi @kuzenko ,

You are correct. A Napi::Function holds a napi_value, whereas a Napi::ThreadSafeFunction holds a napi_threadsafe_function. They are inherently different, and you cannot compare them. Furthermore, not all TSFNs are created with a function passed to them: starting with N-API 5, the function parameter is optional.

If you want to compare the types, you will have to manually keep track of the Function passed to TSFN::New and compare that value instead.

Hope this helps.
