Gio.Task.report_error
Description: Reference for Gio.Task.report_error

### Function

# Gio Taskreport_error

since: 2.36

#### Declaration [src]

    void
    g_task_report_error (
      GObject* source_object,
      GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
      gpointer callback_data,
      gpointer source_tag,
      GError* error
    )

#### Description [src]

Creates a `GTask` and then immediately calls `g_task_return_error()` on it. Use this in the wrapper function of an asynchronous method when you want to avoid even calling the virtual method. You can then use `g_async_result_is_tagged()` in the finish method wrapper to check if the result there is tagged as having been created by the wrapper method, and deal with it appropriately if so.

See also g_task_report_new_error().
