From d2ad9b4fb6a6c4d54f14e19e0c74f1285ee5e402 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Zhang Date: Fri, 4 Oct 2024 16:39:37 +0930 Subject: [PATCH] worker: add `markAsUncloneable` api External modules need a way to decorate their objects so that node can recognize it as a host object for serialization process. Exposing a way for turning off instead of turning on is much safer.
