Modbus RTU in esp32 via software serial

[Amal@consyst]

I am shifting my project platform from ESP8266 to ESP32. The Modbus RTU read and write via Software serial worked fine with esp8266 using modbus-esp8266 library and as per the documentations I guess this library must work with ESP32. But it causes compilation errors as shown below:

Any solution for this issue is much appreciated.
