/**
 * A #GTask represents and manages a cancellable "task".
 * 
 * ## Asynchronous operations
 * 
 * The most common usage of #GTask is as a #GAsyncResult, to
 * manage data during an asynchronous operation. You call
 * g_task_new() in the "start" method, followed by
 * g_task_set_task_data() and the like if you need to keep some
 * additional data associated with the task, and then pass the
 * task object around through your asynchronous operation.
 * Eventually, you will call a method such as
 * g_task_return_pointer() or g_task_return_error(), which will
 * save the value you give it and then invoke the task's callback
 * function in the
 * [thread-default main context][g-main-context-push-thread-default]
 * where it was created (waiting until the next iteration of the main
 * loop first, if necessary). The caller will pass the #GTask back to
 * the operation's finish function (as a #GAsyncResult), and you can
 * use g_task_propagate_pointer() or the like to extract the
 * return value.
 * 
 * Here is an example for using GTask as a GAsyncResult:
 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
 * typedef struct {
 * CakeFrostingType frosting;
 * char *message;
 * } DecorationData;
 * 
 * static void
 * decoration_data_free (DecorationData *decoration)
 * {
 * g_free (decoration->message);
 * g_slice_free (DecorationData, decoration);
 * }
 * 
 * static void
 * baked_cb (Cake     *cake,
 * gpointer  user_data)
 * {
 * GTask *task = user_data;
 * DecorationData *decoration = g_task_get_task_data (task);
 * GError *error = NULL;
 * 
 * if (cake == NULL)
 * {
 * g_task_return_new_error (task, BAKER_ERROR, BAKER_ERROR_NO_FLOUR,
 * "Go to the supermarket");
 * g_object_unref (task);
 * return;
 * }
 * 
 * if (!cake_decorate (cake, decoration->frosting, decoration->message, &error))
 * {
 * g_object_unref (cake);
 * // g_task_return_error() takes ownership of error
 * g_task_return_error (task, error);
 * g_object_unref (task);
 * return;
 * }
 * 
 * g_task_return_pointer (task, cake, g_object_unref);
 * g_object_unref (task);
 * }
 * 
 * void
 * baker_bake_cake_async (Baker               *self,
 * guint                radius,

 * CakeFrostingType     frosting,
 * const char          *message,
 * GCancellable        *cancellable,
 * GAsyncReadyCallback  callback,
 * gpointer             user_data)
 * {
 * GTask *task;
 * DecorationData *decoration;
 * Cake  *cake;
 * 
 * task = g_task_new (self, cancellable, callback, user_data);
 * if (radius < 3)
 * {
 * g_task_return_new_error (task, BAKER_ERROR, BAKER_ERROR_TOO_SMALL,
 * "%ucm radius cakes are silly",
 * radius);
 * g_object_unref (task);
 * return;
 * }
 * 
 * cake = _baker_get_cached_cake (self, radius, flavor, frosting, message);
 * if (cake != NULL)

 * 
 * _baker_begin_cake (self, radius, flavor, cancellable, baked_cb, task);
 * }
 * 
 * Cake *
 * baker_bake_cake_finish (Baker         *self,
 * GAsyncResult  *result,
 * GError       **error)
 * {
 * g_return_val_if_fail (g_task_is_valid (result, self), NULL);
 * 
 * return g_task_propagate_pointer (G_TASK (result), error);
 * }
 * ]|
 * 
 * ## Chained asynchronous operations
 * 
 * #GTask also tries to simplify asynchronous operations that
 * internally chain together several smaller asynchronous
 * operations. g_task_get_cancellable(), g_task_get_context(),
 * and g_task_get_priority() allow you to get back the task's
 * #GCancellable, #GMainContext, and [I/O priority][io-priority]
 * when starting a new subtask, so you don't have to keep track
 * of them yourself. g_task_attach_source() simplifies the case
 * of waiting for a source to fire (automatically using the correct
 * #GMainContext and priority).
 * 
 * Here is an example for chained asynchronous operations:
 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
 * typedef struct {
 * Cake *cake;
 * CakeFrostingType frosting;
 * char *message;
 * } BakingData;
 *

 * g_object_unref (task);

 * }
 * 
 * // baking_data_free() will drop its ref on the cake, so we have to
 * // take another here to give to the caller.

 * g_object_unref (task);

 * 
 * // Bail out now if the user has already cancelled

 * }
 *

 * ]|
 * 
 * ## Asynchronous operations from synchronous ones
 * 
 * You can use g_task_run_in_thread() to turn a synchronous
 * operation into an asynchronous one, by running it in a thread.
 * When it completes, the result will be dispatched to the
 * [thread-default main context][g-main-context-push-thread-default]
 * where the #GTask was created.
 *

 * char *message;
 * } CakeData;

 * GAsyncReadyCallback  callback,
 * gpointer             user_data)
 * {

 * }
 * ]|
 * 
 * ## Adding cancellability to uncancellable tasks
 * 
 * Finally, g_task_run_in_thread() and g_task_run_in_thread_sync()
 * can be used to turn an uncancellable operation into a
 * cancellable one. If you call g_task_set_return_on_cancel(),
 * passing %TRUE, then if the task's #GCancellable is cancelled,
 * it will return control back to the caller immediately, while
 * allowing the task thread to continue running in the background
 * (and simply discarding its result when it finally does finish).
 * Provided that the task thread is careful about how it uses
 * locks and other externally-visible resources, this allows you
 * to make "GLib-friendly" asynchronous and cancellable
 * synchronous variants of blocking APIs.
 * 
 * Cancelling a task:
 * |[<!-- language="C" -->

 * gpointer       source_object,

 * GError *error = NULL;
 *

 * cake_data->frosting, cake_data->message,
 * &error);
 * if (error)
 * {
 * g_task_return_error (task, error);
 * return;
 * }
 * 
 * // If the task has already been cancelled, then we don't want to add
 * // the cake to the cake cache. Likewise, we don't  want to have the
 * // task get cancelled in the middle of updating the cache.
 * // g_task_set_return_on_cancel() will return %TRUE here if it managed
 * // to disable return-on-cancel, or %FALSE if the task was cancelled
 * // before it could.
 * if (g_task_set_return_on_cancel (task, FALSE))
 * {
 * // If the caller cancels at this point, their
 * // GAsyncReadyCallback won't be invoked until we return,
 * // so we don't have to worry that this code will run at
 * // the same time as that code does. But if there were
 * // other functions that might look at the cake cache,
 * // then we'd probably need a GMutex here as well.

 * 
 * ## Porting from GSimpleAsyncResult
 * 
 * #GTask's API attempts to be simpler than #GSimpleAsyncResult's
 * in several ways:
 * - You can save task-specific data with g_task_set_task_data(), and
 * retrieve it later with g_task_get_task_data(). This replaces the
 * abuse of g_simple_async_result_set_op_res_gpointer() for the same
 * purpose with #GSimpleAsyncResult.
 * - In addition to the task data, #GTask also keeps track of the
 * [priority][io-priority], #GCancellable, and
 * #GMainContext associated with the task, so tasks that consist of
 * a chain of simpler asynchronous operations will have easy access
 * to those values when starting each sub-task.
 * - g_task_return_error_if_cancelled() provides simplified
 * handling for cancellation. In addition, cancellation
 * overrides any other #GTask return value by default, like
 * #GSimpleAsyncResult does when
 * g_simple_async_result_set_check_cancellable() is called.
 * (You can use g_task_set_check_cancellable() to turn off that
 * behavior.) On the other hand, g_task_run_in_thread()
 * guarantees that it will always run your
 * `task_func`, even if the task's #GCancellable
 * is already cancelled before the task gets a chance to run;
 * you can start your `task_func` with a
 * g_task_return_error_if_cancelled() check if you need the
 * old behavior.
 * - The "return" methods (eg, g_task_return_pointer())
 * automatically cause the task to be "completed" as well, and
 * there is no need to worry about the "complete" vs "complete
 * in idle" distinction. (#GTask automatically figures out
 * whether the task's callback can be invoked directly, or
 * if it needs to be sent to another #GMainContext, or delayed
 * until the next iteration of the current #GMainContext.)
 * - The "finish" functions for #GTask based operations are generally
 * much simpler than #GSimpleAsyncResult ones, normally consisting
 * of only a single call to g_task_propagate_pointer() or the like.
 * Since g_task_propagate_pointer() "steals" the return value from
 * the #GTask, it is not necessary to juggle pointers around to
 * prevent it from being freed twice.
 * - With #GSimpleAsyncResult, it was common to call
 * g_simple_async_result_propagate_error() from the
 * `_finish()` wrapper function, and have
 * virtual method implementations only deal with successful
 * returns. This behavior is deprecated, because it makes it
 * difficult for a subclass to chain to a parent class's async
 * methods. Instead, the wrapper function should just be a
 * simple wrapper, and the virtual method should call an
 * appropriate `g_task_propagate_` function.
 * Note that wrapper methods can now use
 * g_async_result_legacy_propagate_error() to do old-style
 * #GSimpleAsyncResult error-returning behavior, and
 * g_async_result_is_tagged() to check if a result is tagged as
 * having come from the `_async()` wrapper
 * function (for "short-circuit" results, such as when passing
 * 0 to g_input_stream_read_async()).
