v8's external API is currently changing a bit, and will probably continue
to do so for several months. Our general approach is to deprecate an API
entry for 1 stable version, giving embedders time to adapt, and remove it
after that. In the case at hand, GetPointerFromInternalField was deprecated
in 3.15 and removed in 3.16. If there is a more or less mechanical way to
replace a deprecated API entry, this will be noted in v8.h, e.g.:
/**
* Gets a native pointer from an internal field. Deprecated. If the pointer
is
* always 2-byte-aligned, use GetAlignedPointerFromInternalField instead,
* otherwise use a combination of GetInternalField, External::Cast and
* External::Value.
*/
V8EXPORT V8_DEPRECATED(void* GetPointerFromInternalField(int index)); In
general, v8.h is the most up-to-date form of "API documentation". The web
pages/tutorials might be out of sync and will get an overhaul at some later
point in time.

It depends: If you are sure that your TS_Color* is aligned, the aligned
version is an easy and extremely efficient 1:1 replacement. If you are
unsure, use the slow route as described in the comment.
