Fix reporting of API error messages #43
Conversation
When a call to an N-API function caused an error for some reason other than a JS exception, the fallback error message "Error in native callback" was always reported because of incorrect logic in `Napi::Error::New()`. Then that fix exposed a bug in `napi_get_last_error_info()`, which I have fixed here and also at nodejs/node#13087

Does this make sense? assert + then make the code conditional on asserted statement?

If we encounter another error while handling an error, there's not much we can do. Probably it should be a fatal error, except we haven't exposed node::FatalError() via N-API yet. The assert will at least indicate when something went wrong in a debug build, but in a release build the conditional allows it to continue without crashing.

This came up last time this code was reviewed: #32 (comment)
Probably we should go ahead and add a napi_fatal_error() API.

I opened a new issue to track this: #48
I don't think the current PR needs to be blocked by it.
