28 * @short_description: Cancellable synchronous or asynchronous task
31 * @see_also: #GAsyncResult
33 * A #GTask represents and manages a cancellable "task".
35 * ## Asynchronous operations
37 * The most common usage of #GTask is as a #GAsyncResult, to
38 * manage data during an asynchronous operation. You call
39 * g_task_new() in the "start" method, followed by
40 * g_task_set_task_data() and the like if you need to keep some
41 * additional data associated with the task, and then pass the
42 * task object around through your asynchronous operation.
43 * Eventually, you will call a method such as
44 * g_task_return_pointer() or g_task_return_error(), which will
45 * save the value you give it and then invoke the task's callback
46 * function (waiting until the next iteration of the main
47 * loop first, if necessary). The caller will pass the #GTask back
48 * to the operation's finish function (as a #GAsyncResult), and
49 * you can use g_task_propagate_pointer() or the like to extract
52 * Here is an example for using GTask as a GAsyncResult:

115 * g_object_unref (task);

122 * // _baker_get_cached_cake() returns a reffed cake

143 * return g_task_propagate_pointer (G_TASK (result), error);
147 * ## Chained asynchronous operations
149 * #GTask also tries to simplify asynchronous operations that
150 * internally chain together several smaller asynchronous
151 * operations. g_task_get_cancellable(), g_task_get_context(),
152 * and g_task_get_priority() allow you to get back the task's
153 * #GCancellable, #GMainContext, and [I/O priority][io-priority]
154 * when starting a new subtask, so you don't have to keep track
155 * of them yourself. g_task_attach_source() simplifies the case
156 * of waiting for a source to fire (automatically using the correct
157 * #GMainContext and priority).
159 * Here is an example for chained asynchronous operations:

235 * decorator_ready (task);
240 * source = cake_decorator_wait_source_new (cake);
241 * // Attach @source to @task's GMainContext and have it call
242 * // decorator_ready() when it is ready.
243 * g_task_attach_source (task, source,
244 * G_CALLBACK (decorator_ready));
245 * g_source_unref (source);
250 * baker_bake_cake_async (Baker *self,
253 * CakeFrostingType frosting,
254 * const char *message,

263 * task = g_task_new (self, cancellable, callback, user_data);
264 * g_task_set_priority (task, priority);
266 * bd = g_slice_new0 (BakingData);

285 * ## Asynchronous operations from synchronous ones
287 * You can use g_task_run_in_thread() to turn a synchronous
288 * operation into an asynchronous one, by running it in a thread
289 * which will then dispatch the result back to the caller's
290 * #GMainContext when it completes.

325 * g_task_return_error (task, error);
329 * baker_bake_cake_async (Baker *self,
332 * CakeFrostingType frosting,
333 * const char *message,
334 * GCancellable *cancellable,
335 * GAsyncReadyCallback callback,

342 * cake_data->radius = radius;

345 * cake_data->message = g_strdup (message);
346 * task = g_task_new (self, cancellable, callback, user_data);
347 * g_task_set_task_data (task, cake_data, (GDestroyNotify) cake_data_free);

356 * g_return_val_if_fail (g_task_is_valid (result, self), NULL);
358 * return g_task_propagate_pointer (G_TASK (result), error);
362 * ## Adding cancellability to uncancellable tasks
364 * Finally, g_task_run_in_thread() and g_task_run_in_thread_sync()
365 * can be used to turn an uncancellable operation into a
366 * cancellable one. If you call g_task_set_return_on_cancel(),
367 * passing %TRUE, then if the task's #GCancellable is cancelled,
368 * it will return control back to the caller immediately, while
369 * allowing the task thread to continue running in the background
370 * (and simply discarding its result when it finally does finish).
371 * Provided that the task thread is careful about how it uses
372 * locks and other externally-visible resources, this allows you
373 * to make "GLib-friendly" asynchronous and cancellable
374 * synchronous variants of blocking APIs.

468 * ## Porting from GSimpleAsyncResult
470 * #GTask's API attempts to be simpler than #GSimpleAsyncResult's
472 * - You can save task-specific data with g_task_set_task_data(), and
473 * retrieve it later with g_task_get_task_data(). This replaces the
474 * abuse of g_simple_async_result_set_op_res_gpointer() for the same
475 * purpose with #GSimpleAsyncResult.
476 * - In addition to the task data, #GTask also keeps track of the
477 * [priority][io-priority], #GCancellable, and
478 * #GMainContext associated with the task, so tasks that consist of
479 * a chain of simpler asynchronous operations will have easy access
480 * to those values when starting each sub-task.
481 * - g_task_return_error_if_cancelled() provides simplified
482 * handling for cancellation. In addition, cancellation
483 * overrides any other #GTask return value by default, like
484 * #GSimpleAsyncResult does when
485 * g_simple_async_result_set_check_cancellable() is called.
486 * (You can use g_task_set_check_cancellable() to turn off that
487 * behavior.) On the other hand, g_task_run_in_thread()
488 * guarantees that it will always run your
489 * `task_func`, even if the task's #GCancellable
490 * is already cancelled before the task gets a chance to run;
491 * you can start your `task_func` with a
492 * g_task_return_error_if_cancelled() check if you need the
494 * - The "return" methods (eg, g_task_return_pointer())
495 * automatically cause the task to be "completed" as well, and
496 * there is no need to worry about the "complete" vs "complete
497 * in idle" distinction. (#GTask automatically figures out
498 * whether the task's callback can be invoked directly, or
499 * if it needs to be sent to another #GMainContext, or delayed
500 * until the next iteration of the current #GMainContext.)
501 * - The "finish" functions for #GTask-based operations are generally
502 * much simpler than #GSimpleAsyncResult ones, normally consisting
503 * of only a single call to g_task_propagate_pointer() or the like.
504 * Since g_task_propagate_pointer() "steals" the return value from
505 * the #GTask, it is not necessary to juggle pointers around to
506 * prevent it from being freed twice.
507 * - With #GSimpleAsyncResult, it was common to call
508 * g_simple_async_result_propagate_error() from the
509 * `_finish()` wrapper function, and have
510 * virtual method implementations only deal with successful
511 * returns. This behavior is deprecated, because it makes it
512 * difficult for a subclass to chain to a parent class's async
513 * methods. Instead, the wrapper function should just be a
514 * simple wrapper, and the virtual method should call an
515 * appropriate `g_task_propagate_` function.
516 * Note that wrapper methods can now use
517 * g_async_result_legacy_propagate_error() to do old-style
518 * #GSimpleAsyncResult error-returning behavior, and
519 * g_async_result_is_tagged() to check if a result is tagged as
520 * having come from the `_async()` wrapper
521 * function (for "short-circuit" results, such as when passing
522 * 0 to g_input_stream_read_async()).
