Method

GioTaskset_source_tag

since: 2.36

Declaration [src]

void
g_task_set_source_tag (
  GTask* task,
  gpointer source_tag
)

Description [src]

Sets tasks source tag.

You can use this to tag a task return value with a particular pointer (usually a pointer to the function doing the tagging) and then later check it using g_task_get_source_tag() (or g_async_result_is_tagged()) in the task’s “finish” function, to figure out if the response came from a particular place.

A macro wrapper around this function will automatically set the task’s name to the string form of source_tag if it’s not already set, for convenience.

Available since: 2.36

Parameters

source_tag

Type: gpointer

An opaque pointer indicating the source of this task.

The argument can be NULL.
The data is owned by the caller of the method.
