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

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

290 * ## Asynchronous operations from synchronous ones
292 * You can use g_task_run_in_thread() to turn a synchronous
293 * operation into an asynchronous one, by running it in a thread

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

474 * ## Porting from GSimpleAsyncResult
476 * #GTask's API attempts to be simpler than #GSimpleAsyncResult's
477 * in several ways:
478 * - You can save task-specific data with g_task_set_task_data(), and
479 * retrieve it later with g_task_get_task_data(). This replaces the
480 * abuse of g_simple_async_result_set_op_res_gpointer() for the same
481 * purpose with #GSimpleAsyncResult.
482 * - In addition to the task data, #GTask also keeps track of the
483 * [priority][io-priority], #GCancellable, and
484 * #GMainContext associated with the task, so tasks that consist of
485 * a chain of simpler asynchronous operations will have easy access
486 * to those values when starting each sub-task.
487 * - g_task_return_error_if_cancelled() provides simplified
488 * handling for cancellation. In addition, cancellation
489 * overrides any other #GTask return value by default, like
490 * #GSimpleAsyncResult does when
491 * g_simple_async_result_set_check_cancellable() is called.
492 * (You can use g_task_set_check_cancellable() to turn off that
493 * behavior.) On the other hand, g_task_run_in_thread()
494 * guarantees that it will always run your
495 * `task_func`, even if the task's #GCancellable
496 * is already cancelled before the task gets a chance to run;
497 * you can start your `task_func` with a
498 * g_task_return_error_if_cancelled() check if you need the
499 * old behavior.
500 * - The "return" methods (eg, g_task_return_pointer())
501 * automatically cause the task to be "completed" as well, and
502 * there is no need to worry about the "complete" vs "complete
503 * in idle" distinction. (#GTask automatically figures out
504 * whether the task's callback can be invoked directly, or
505 * if it needs to be sent to another #GMainContext, or delayed
506 * until the next iteration of the current #GMainContext.)
507 * - The "finish" functions for #GTask-based operations are generally
508 * much simpler than #GSimpleAsyncResult ones, normally consisting
509 * of only a single call to g_task_propagate_pointer() or the like.
510 * Since g_task_propagate_pointer() "steals" the return value from
511 * the #GTask, it is not necessary to juggle pointers around to
512 * prevent it from being freed twice.
513 * - With #GSimpleAsyncResult, it was common to call
514 * g_simple_async_result_propagate_error() from the
515 * `_finish()` wrapper function, and have
516 * virtual method implementations only deal with successful
517 * returns. This behavior is deprecated, because it makes it
518 * difficult for a subclass to chain to a parent class's async
519 * methods. Instead, the wrapper function should just be a
520 * simple wrapper, and the virtual method should call an
521 * appropriate `g_task_propagate_` function.
522 * Note that wrapper methods can now use
523 * g_async_result_legacy_propagate_error() to do old-style
524 * #GSimpleAsyncResult error-returning behavior, and
525 * g_async_result_is_tagged() to check if a result is tagged as
526 * having come from the `_async()` wrapper
527 * function (for "short-circuit" results, such as when passing
528 * 0 to g_input_stream_read_async()).
532 * GTask:
534 * The opaque object representing a synchronous or asynchronous task
535 * and its result.
