If an object implements this interface then * it must be initialized as the first thing after construction, * either via g_initable_init() or g_async_initable_init_async() * (the latter is only available if it also implements #GAsyncInitable). * * 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. * * 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_initable_new() directly, or indirectly via a foo_thing_new() wrapper. * This will call g_initable_init() under the cover, returning %NULL and * setting a #GError on failure (at which point the instance is * unreferenced). * * For bindings in languages where the native constructor supports * exceptions the binding could check for objects implemention %GInitable * during normal construction and automatically initialize them, throwing * an exception on failure. */ typedef GInitableIface GInitableInterface; G_DEFINE_INTERFACE (GInitable, g_initable, G_TYPE_OBJECT) static void g_initable_default_init (GInitableInterface *iface) { } /** * g_initable_init: * @initable: a #GInitable. * @cancellable: optional #GCancellable object, %NULL to ignore. * @error: a #GError location to store the error occurring, or %NULL to * ignore. * * Initializes the object implementing the interface. * * This method is intended for language bindings. If writing in C, * g_initable_new() should typically be used instead. * * The object must be initialized before any real use after initial * construction, either with this function or g_async_initable_init_async(). * * Implementations may also support cancellation. If @cancellable is not %NULL, * then initialization can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object * from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error * %G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. If @cancellable is not %NULL and * the object doesn't support cancellable initialization the error * %G_IO_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED will be returned. * * 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. See the [introduction][ginitable] for more details. * * Callers should not assume that a class which implements #GInitable can be * initialized multiple times, unless the class explicitly documents itself as * supporting this. Generally, a class’ implementation of init() can assume * (and assert) that it will only be called once. Previously, this documentation * recommended all #GInitable implementations should be idempotent; that * recommendation was relaxed in GLib 2.54. * * If a class explicitly supports being initialized multiple times, it is * recommended that the method is idempotent: multiple calls with the same * arguments should return the same results. Only the first call initializes * the object; further calls return the result of the first call. * * One reason why a class might need to support idempotent initialization is if * it is designed to be used via the singleton pattern, with a * #GObjectClass.constructor that sometimes returns an existing instance. * In this pattern, a caller would expect to be able to call g_initable_init() * on the result of g_object_new(), regardless of whether it is in fact a new * instance. * * Returns: %TRUE if successful. If an error has occurred, this function will * return %FALSE and set @error appropriately if present. * * Since: 2.22 */ gboolean g_initable_init (GInitable *initable, GCancellable *cancellable, GError **error) { GInitableIface *iface; g_return_val_if_fail (G_IS_INITABLE (initable), FALSE); iface = G_INITABLE_GET_IFACE (initable); return (* iface->init) (initable, cancellable, error); } /** * g_initable_new: * @object_type: a #GType supporting #GInitable. * @cancellable: optional #GCancellable object, %NULL to ignore. * @error: a #GError location to store the error occurring, or %NULL to * ignore. * @first_property_name: (nullable): the name of the first property, or %NULL if no * properties * @...: the value if the first property, followed by and other property * value pairs, and ended by %NULL. * * Helper function for constructing #GInitable object.
