Failable object initialization interface.
Initable is implemented by objects that can fail during initialization. If an object implements this interface the init() function must be called as the first thing after construction. If init() is not called, or if it returns an error, all further operations on the object should fail, generally with a G_IO_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED error.
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 nullptr and setting a GError on failure.
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.

inline |
Provides access to the underlying C GObject.
|
protected |
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 nullptr
, then initialization can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error Gio::Error::CANCELLED will be returned. If cancellable is not nullptr
and the object doesn't support cancellable initialization the error Gio::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 Glib::object_ref() and Glib::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 Initable 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 Initable 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 ObjectClass.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 Glib::object_new(), regardless of whether it is in fact a new instance.
