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. * * 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.
