## Detailed Description

AsyncInitable - Asynchronously failable object initialization interface.

This is the asynchronous version of Initable; it behaves the same in all ways except that initialization is asynchronous. For more details see the descriptions on Initable.

A class may implement both the Initable and AsyncInitable interfaces.

Users of objects implementing this are not intended to use the interface method directly; instead it will be used automatically in various ways. For C applications you generally just call g_async_initable_new_async() directly, or indirectly via a foo_thing_new_async() wrapper. This will call g_async_initable_init_async() under the cover, calling back with NULL and a set GError on failure.

## Member Function Documentation

static void Gio::AsyncInitable::add_interface | ( | GType | gtype_implementer | ) |

static

Glib::RefPtr<Glib::Object> Gio::AsyncInitable::create_finish | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< AsyncResult >& | res | ) |

protected

Finishes the async construction for the various g_async_initable_new calls, returning the created object or `0` on error.

Since glibmm 2.22:

Parameters

  res | The AsyncResult from the callback.

Returns
  A newly created Object, or `0` on error. Free with Glib::object_unref().

static GType Gio::AsyncInitable::get_type | ( |  | ) |

GAsyncInitable* Gio::AsyncInitable::gobj | ( |  | ) |

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

const GAsyncInitable* Gio::AsyncInitable::gobj | ( |  | ) | const

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

void Gio::AsyncInitable::init_async | ( | const SlotAsyncReady& | slot,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable,
|  | int | io_priority = `Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT`
| ) |  |

protected

Starts asynchronous initialization of the object implementing the interface.

This must be done before any real use of the object after initial construction. If the object also implements Initable you can optionally call Gio::Initable::init() instead.

When the initialization is finished, slot will be called. You can then call init_finish() to get the result of the initialization.

Implementations may also support cancellation. Initialization can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error Gio::IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. If the object doesn't support cancellable initialization, the error Gio::IO_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED will be returned.

If this function is not called, or returns with an error, then all operations on the object should fail, generally returning the error Gio::IO_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED.

Implementations of this method must be idempotent: i.e. multiple calls to this function with the same argument should return the same results. Only the first call initializes the object; further calls return the result of the first call. This is so that it's safe to implement the singleton pattern in the GObject constructor function.

For classes that also support the Initable interface, the default implementation of this method will run the Gio::Initable::init() method in a thread, so if you want to support asynchronous initialization via threads, just implement the AsyncInitable interface without overriding any interface methods.

Parameters

  io_priority | The I/O priority of the operation.
  cancellable | Cancellable object to make cancellation possible.
  slot | a SlotAsyncReady to call when the request is satisfied.

Since glibmm 2.28:

void Gio::AsyncInitable::init_async | ( | const SlotAsyncReady& | slot,
|  | int | io_priority = `Glib::PRIORITY_DEFAULT`

bool Gio::AsyncInitable::init_finish | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< AsyncResult >& | result | ) |

protected

Finishes asynchronous initialization and returns the result.

See g_async_initable_init_async().

Since glibmm 2.22:

Parameters

  res | A AsyncResult.

Returns
  `true` if successful. If an error has occurred, this function will return `false` and set error appropriately if present.
