shared_pointer support in javascript

[dakhnod]

I have seen #798, #236 and #1365 and find this plot a bit hard to follow.

Is there support for std::shared_ptr? Swig 4.2.1 doesn't seem to include std_shared_ptr.i, which would be really useful.

Does anyone have a hint on where I could find that?

SWIG doesn't yet support std::shared_ptr when generating Javascript wrappers.

There have been a couple of patches submitted which you've linked to, but they were incomplete and the submitters didn't respond to requests to update their patches so they were eventually closed.

There's JavaScript Evolution fork by @mmomtchev that has it implemented for napi, see mmomtchev#42
