/**
 * SECTION:gsimpleasyncresult
 * @short_description: Simple asynchronous results implementation
 * @include: gio/gio.h
 * @see_also: #GAsyncResult
 *
 * Implements #GAsyncResult for simple cases. Most of the time, this 
 * will be all an application needs, and will be used transparently. 
 * Because of this, #GSimpleAsyncResult is used throughout GIO for 
 * handling asynchronous functions. 
 * 
 * GSimpleAsyncResult handles #GAsyncReadyCallback<!-- -->s, error 
 * reporting, operation cancellation and the final state of an operation, 
 * completely transparent to the application. Results can be returned 
 * as a pointer e.g. for functions that return data that is collected 
 * asynchronously, a boolean value for checking the success or failure 
 * of an operation, or a #gssize for operations which return the number 
 * of bytes modified by the operation; all of the simple return cases 
 * are covered.
 * 
 * Most of the time, an application will not need to know of the details 
 * of this API; it is handled transparently, and any necessary operations 
 * are handled by #GAsyncResult's interface. However, if implementing a 
 * new GIO module, for writing language bindings, or for complex 
 * applications that need better control of how asynchronous operations 
 * are completed, it is important to understand this functionality.
 * 
 * GSimpleAsyncResults are tagged with the calling function to ensure 
 * that asynchronous functions and their finishing functions are used 
 * together correctly.
 * 
 * To create a new #GSimpleAsyncResult, call g_simple_async_result_new(). 
 * If the result needs to be created for a #GError, use 
 * g_simple_async_result_new_from_error(). If a #GError is not available 
 * (e.g. the asynchronous operation's doesn't take a #GError argument), 
 * but the result still needs to be created for an error condition, use
 * g_simple_async_result_new_error() (or g_simple_async_result_set_error_va()
 * if your application or binding requires passing a variable argument list 
 * directly), and the error can then be propegated through the use of 
 * g_simple_async_result_propagate_error().
 * 
 * An asynchronous operation can be made to ignore a cancellation event by 
 * calling g_simple_async_result_set_handle_cancellation() with a 
 * #GSimpleAsyncResult for the operation and %FALSE. This is useful for
 * operations that are dangerous to cancel, such as close (which would
 * cause a leak if cancelled before being run).
 * 
 * GSimpleAsyncResult can integrate into GLib's event loop, #GMainLoop, 
 * or it can use #GThread<!-- -->s if available. 
 * g_simple_async_result_complete() will finish an I/O task directly
 * from the point where it is called. g_simple_async_result_complete_in_idle()
 * will finish it from an idle handler in the <link
 * linkend="g-main-context-push-thread-default">thread-default main
 * context</link>. g_simple_async_result_run_in_thread() will run the
 * job in a separate thread and then deliver the result to the
 * thread-default main context.
 * 
 * To set the results of an asynchronous function, 
 * g_simple_async_result_set_op_res_gpointer(), 
 * g_simple_async_result_set_op_res_gboolean(), and 
 * g_simple_async_result_set_op_res_gssize()
 * are provided, setting the operation's result to a gpointer, gboolean, or 
 * gssize, respectively.
 * 
 * Likewise, to get the result of an asynchronous function, 
 * g_simple_async_result_get_op_res_gpointer(),
 * g_simple_async_result_get_op_res_gboolean(), and 
 * g_simple_async_result_get_op_res_gssize() are 
 * provided, getting the operation's result as a gpointer, gboolean, and 
 * gssize, respectively.
