33 * @short_description: Asynchronously failable object initialization interface
35 * @see_also: #GInitable
37 * This is the asynchronous version of #GInitable; it behaves the same
38 * in all ways except that initialization is asynchronous. For more details
39 * see the descriptions on #GInitable.
41 * A class may implement both the #GInitable and #GAsyncInitable interfaces.
43 * Users of objects implementing this are not intended to use the interface
44 * method directly; instead it will be used automatically in various ways.
45 * For C applications you generally just call g_async_initable_new_async()
46 * directly, or indirectly via a foo_thing_new_async() wrapper. This will call
47 * g_async_initable_init_async() under the cover, calling back with %NULL and
48 * a set %GError on failure.
50 * A typical implementation might look something like this:
60 * _foo_ready_cb (Foo *self)
64 * self->priv->state = INITIALIZED;
66 * for (l = self->priv->init_results; l != NULL; l = l->next)
68 * GTask *task = l->data;
70 * if (self->priv->success)
71 * g_task_return_boolean (task, TRUE);
73 * g_task_return_new_error (task, ...);
74 * g_object_unref (task);
77 * g_list_free (self->priv->init_results);
78 * self->priv->init_results = NULL;
82 * foo_init_async (GAsyncInitable *initable,
84 * GCancellable *cancellable,
85 * GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
88 * Foo *self = FOO (initable);
91 * task = g_task_new (initable, cancellable, callback, user_data);
93 * switch (self->priv->state)
95 * case NOT_INITIALIZED:
96 * _foo_get_ready (self);
97 * self->priv->init_results = g_list_append (self->priv->init_results,
99 * self->priv->state = INITIALIZING;
102 * self->priv->init_results = g_list_append (self->priv->init_results,
106 * if (!self->priv->success)
107 * g_task_return_new_error (task, ...);
109 * g_task_return_boolean (task, TRUE);
110 * g_object_unref (task);
116 * foo_init_finish (GAsyncInitable *initable,
117 * GAsyncResult *result,
120 * g_return_val_if_fail (g_task_is_valid (result, initable), FALSE);
122 * return g_task_propagate_boolean (G_TASK (result), error);
126 * foo_async_initable_iface_init (gpointer g_iface,
129 * GAsyncInitableIface *iface = g_iface;
131 * iface->init_async = foo_init_async;
132 * iface->init_finish = foo_init_finish;

152 g_async_initable_default_init (GAsyncInitableInterface *iface)
154 iface->init_async = g_async_initable_real_init_async;
155 iface->init_finish = g_async_initable_real_init_finish;
159 * g_async_initable_init_async:
160 * @initable: a #GAsyncInitable.
161 * @io_priority: the <link linkend="io-priority">I/O priority</link>
163 * @cancellable: optional #GCancellable object, %NULL to ignore.
164 * @callback: a #GAsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied
165 * @user_data: the data to pass to callback function
167 * Starts asynchronous initialization of the object implementing the
168 * interface. This must be done before any real use of the object after
169 * initial construction. If the object also implements #GInitable you can
170 * optionally call g_initable_init() instead.
172 * When the initialization is finished, @callback will be called. You can
173 * then call g_async_initable_init_finish() to get the result of the
176 * Implementations may also support cancellation. If @cancellable is not
177 * %NULL, then initialization can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable
178 * object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error
179 * %G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. If @cancellable is not %NULL, and
180 * the object doesn't support cancellable initialization, the error
181 * %G_IO_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED will be returned.
183 * As with #GInitable, if the object is not initialized, or initialization
184 * returns with an error, then all operations on the object except
185 * g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are considered to be invalid, and
186 * have undefined behaviour. They will often fail with g_critical() or
187 * g_warning(), but this must not be relied on.
189 * Implementations of this method must be idempotent: i.e. multiple calls
190 * to this function with the same argument should return the same results.
191 * Only the first call initializes the object; further calls return the result
192 * of the first call. This is so that it's safe to implement the singleton
193 * pattern in the GObject constructor function.
195 * For classes that also support the #GInitable interface, the default
196 * implementation of this method will run the g_initable_init() function
197 * in a thread, so if you want to support asynchronous initialization via
198 * threads, just implement the #GAsyncInitable interface without overriding
199 * any interface methods.
