Glib::RefPtr< Gio::Cancellable > | wrap (GCancellable* object, bool take_copy=false) |
A Glib::wrap() method for this object. |
Allows actions to be cancelled.
Cancellable is a thread-safe operation cancellation stack used throughout GIO to allow for cancellation of synchronous and asynchronous operations.
virtual Gio::Cancellable::~Cancellable | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Gio::Cancellable::Cancellable | ( | ) | [protected] |
void Gio::Cancellable::cancel | ( | ) |
Will set cancellable to cancelled, and will emit the Cancellable::cancelled signal.
(However, see the warning about race conditions in the documentation for that signal if you are planning to connect to it.)
This function is thread-safe. In other words, you can safely call it from a thread other than the one running the operation that was passed the cancellable.
The convention within gio is that cancelling an asynchronous operation causes it to complete asynchronously. That is, if you cancel the operation from the same thread in which it is running, then the operation's AsyncReadyCallback will not be invoked until the application returns to the main loop.
static Glib::RefPtr<Cancellable> Gio::Cancellable::create | ( | ) | [static] |
static Glib::RefPtr<Cancellable> Gio::Cancellable::get_current | ( | ) | [static] |
Gets the top cancellable from the stack.
0
if the stack is empty. int Gio::Cancellable::get_fd | ( | ) | const |
Gets the file descriptor for a cancellable job.
This can be used to implement cancellable operations on Unix systems. The returned fd will turn readable when cancellable is cancelled.
See also g_cancellable_make_pollfd().
const GCancellable* Gio::Cancellable::gobj | ( | ) | const [inline] |
Provides access to the underlying C GObject.
Reimplemented from Glib::ObjectBase.
GCancellable* Gio::Cancellable::gobj | ( | ) | [inline] |
Provides access to the underlying C GObject.
Reimplemented from Glib::ObjectBase.
GCancellable* Gio::Cancellable::gobj_copy | ( | ) |
Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.
bool Gio::Cancellable::is_cancelled | ( | ) | const |
Checks if a cancellable job has been cancelled.
true
if cancellable is cancelled, false
if called with 0
or if item is not cancelled. virtual void Gio::Cancellable::on_cancelled | ( | ) | [protected, virtual] |
void Gio::Cancellable::pop_current | ( | ) |
Pops cancellable off the cancellable stack (verifying that cancellable is on the top of the stack).
void Gio::Cancellable::push_current | ( | ) |
Pushes cancellable onto the cancellable stack.
The current cancllable can then be recieved using g_cancellable_get_current().
This is useful when implementing cancellable operations in code that does not allow you to pass down the cancellable object.
This is typically called automatically by e.g. File operations, so you rarely have to call this yourself.
void Gio::Cancellable::reset | ( | ) |
Resets cancellable to its uncancelled state.

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.
object | The C instance. | |
take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref. |
