 * SECTION:gasyncinitable
 * @short_description: Asynchronously failable object initialization interface
 * @include: gio/gio.h
 * @see_also: #GInitable
 *
 * This is the asynchronous version of #GInitable; it behaves the same
 * in all ways except that initialization is asynchronous. For more details
 * see the descriptions on #GInitable.
 *
 * A class may implement both the #GInitable and #GAsyncInitable 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.
 *
 * A typical implementation might look something like this:
 *
 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
 * enum {
 *    NOT_INITIALIZED,
 *    INITIALIZING,
 *    INITIALIZED
 * };
 *
 * static void
 * _foo_ready_cb (Foo *self)
 * {
 *   GList *l;
 *
 *   self->priv->state = INITIALIZED;
 *
 *   for (l = self->priv->init_results; l != NULL; l = l->next)
 *     {
 *       GTask *task = l->data;
 *
 *       if (self->priv->success)
 *         g_task_return_boolean (task, TRUE);
 *       else
 *         g_task_return_new_error (task, ...);
 *       g_object_unref (task);
 *     }
 *
 *   g_list_free (self->priv->init_results);
 *   self->priv->init_results = NULL;
 * }
 *
 * static void
 * foo_init_async (GAsyncInitable       *initable,
 *                 int                   io_priority,
 *                 GCancellable         *cancellable,
 *                 GAsyncReadyCallback   callback,
 *                 gpointer              user_data)
 * {
 *   Foo *self = FOO (initable);
 *   GTask *task;
 *
 *   task = g_task_new (initable, cancellable, callback, user_data);
 *
 *   switch (self->priv->state)
 *     {
 *       case NOT_INITIALIZED:
 *         _foo_get_ready (self);
 *         self->priv->init_results = g_list_append (self->priv->init_results,
 *                                                   task);

 *         break;
 *       case INITIALIZED:
 *         if (!self->priv->success)
 *           g_task_return_new_error (task, ...);
 *         else
 *           g_task_return_boolean (task, TRUE);
 *         g_object_unref (task);
 *         break;
 *     }
 * }
 *
 * static gboolean
 * foo_init_finish (GAsyncInitable       *initable,
 *                  GAsyncResult         *result,

/**
 * g_async_initable_init_async:
 * @initable: a #GAsyncInitable.
 * @io_priority: the [I/O priority][io-priority] of the operation
 * @cancellable: optional #GCancellable object, %NULL to ignore.
 * @callback: a #GAsyncReadyCallback to call when the request is satisfied
 * @user_data: the data to pass to callback function
 *
 * 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 #GInitable you can
 * optionally call g_initable_init() 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
 * %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.
 *
 * As with #GInitable, 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.
 *
 * 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 #GInitable interface, the default
 * implementation of this method will run the g_initable_init() function
 * in a thread, so if you want to support asynchronous initialization via
 * threads, just implement the #GAsyncInitable interface without overriding
 * any interface methods.
