Required Methods§

source

unsafe fn init_async<P: FnOnce(Result<(), Error>) + 'static>( &self, io_priority: Priority, cancellable: Option<&impl IsA<Cancellable>>, callback: P )

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 InitableExt::init() instead.

This method is intended for language bindings. If writing in C, [AsyncInitable::new_async()][crate::AsyncInitable::new_async()] should typically be used instead.

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

Implementations may also support cancellation. If cancellable is not None, then initialization can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error IOErrorEnum::Cancelled will be returned. If cancellable is not None, and the object doesn’t support cancellable initialization, the error IOErrorEnum::NotSupported will be returned.

As with Initable, if the object is not initialized, or initialization returns with an error, then all operations on the object except g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are considered to be invalid, and have undefined behaviour. They will often fail with g_critical() or g_warning(), but this must not be relied on.

Callers should not assume that a class which implements AsyncInitable can be initialized multiple times; for more information, see InitableExt::init(). If a class explicitly supports being initialized multiple times, implementation requires yielding all subsequent calls to init_async() on the results of the first call.

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

io_priority

the [I/O priority][io-priority] of the operation

cancellable

optional Cancellable object, None to ignore.

callback

a GAsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied
