How do I use std::string in a C++ Addon for Node.js?

问题

I'm trying to wrap C++ objects for use in javascript as per the node.js documentation here: https://nodejs.org/api/addons.html#addons_wrapping_c_objects

The Addon would build without error, and work properly when my object "AnObject" only had numeric attributes i.e "int32_t age;".

When I added the attribute "std::string name;" to AnObject, "node-gyp configure" worked, however "node-gyp build" gave the following error:

Here is my objects header file where the error is thrown, AnObject.h:

    #pragma once

    #include <node.h>
    #include <node_object_wrap.h>
    #include <string.h>

    namespace demo {

        class AnObject : public node::ObjectWrap {
        public:
            static void Init(v8::Local<v8::Object> exports);

        private:
            explicit AnObject(int32_t num = 19);
            ~AnObject();

            static void New(const v8::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& args);
            static void setAge(const v8::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& args);
            static void getAge(const v8::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& args);
            static void setName(const v8::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& args);
            static void getName(const v8::FunctionCallbackInfo<v8::Value>& args);
            static v8::Persistent<v8::Function> constructor;
            int32_t age;
            std::string name;
        };

    }  // namespace demo

and if you're curious, the implementation file AnObject.cc:
