Public Member Functions

virtual ~Cancellable ()
GCancellable* gobj ()
 Provides access to the underlying C GObject.
const GCancellable* gobj () const
 Provides access to the underlying C GObject.
GCancellable* gobj_copy ()
 Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.
bool is_cancelled () const
 Checks if a cancellable job has been cancelled.
int get_fd () const
 Gets the file descriptor for a cancellable job.
void cancel ()
 Will set cancellable to cancelled, and will emit the CANCELLED signal.
void push_current ()
 Pushes cancellable onto the cancellable stack.
void pop_current ()
 Pops cancellable off the cancellable stack (verifying that cancellable is on the top of the stack).
void reset ()
 Resets cancellable to its uncancelled state.

Glib::RefPtr<Gio::Cancellablewrap (GCancellable* object, bool take_copy=false)
 A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Detailed Description

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.

Since glibmm 2.16:


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gio::Cancellable::~Cancellable (  )  [virtual]

Gio::Cancellable::Cancellable (  )  [protected]


Member Function Documentation

GCancellable* Gio::Cancellable::gobj (  )  [inline]

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Glib::ObjectBase.

const GCancellable* Gio::Cancellable::gobj (  )  const [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.

static Glib::RefPtr<Cancellable> Gio::Cancellable::create (  )  [static]

bool Gio::Cancellable::is_cancelled (  )  const

Checks if a cancellable job has been cancelled.

Returns:
true if cancellable is is cancelled, false if called with 0 or if item is not cancelled.

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.

Returns:
A valid file descriptor. -1 if the file descriptor is not supported, or on errors.

void Gio::Cancellable::cancel (  ) 

Will set cancellable to cancelled, and will emit the CANCELLED signal.

This function is thread-safe. In other words, you can safely call it from another thread than the one running an operation that was passed the cancellable .

static Glib::RefPtr<Cancellable> Gio::Cancellable::get_current (  )  [static]

Gets the top cancellable from the stack.

Returns:
a Cancellable from the top of the stack, or an invalid RefPtr if the stack is empty.

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. G::File operations, so you rarely have to call this yourself.

void Gio::Cancellable::pop_current (  ) 

Pops cancellable off the cancellable stack (verifying that cancellable is on the top of the stack).

void Gio::Cancellable::reset (  ) 

Resets cancellable to its uncancelled state.


Friends And Related Function Documentation

Glib::RefPtr<Gio::Cancellable> wrap ( GCancellable *  object,
bool  take_copy = false 
) [related]

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters:
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.
Returns:
A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
