Asynchronously failable object initialization interface

gAsyncInitableInitAsync(object, io.priority, cancellable = NULL, callback, user.data = NULL)
gAsyncInitableInitFinish(object, res, .errwarn = TRUE)
gAsyncInitableNewAsync(object.type, io.priority, cancellable, callback, user.data, ...)
gAsyncInitableNewFinish(object, res, .errwarn = TRUE)

1 2	GInterface +----GAsyncInitable

This is the asynchronous version of GInitable, it behaves the same in all ways except that initialization is asynchronous. For more details see the descriptions on GInitable.

A class may implement both the GInitable and GAsyncInitable interfaces.

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 gAsyncInitableNewAsync directly, or indirectly via a fooThingNewAsync() wrapper. This will call gAsyncInitableInitAsync under the cover, calling back with NULL and a set GError on failure.
