   * GCancellable::cancelled:
   * @cancellable: a #GCancellable.
   * 
   * Emitted when the operation has been cancelled.
   * 
   * Can be used by implementations of cancellable operations. If the
   * operation is cancelled from another thread, the signal will be
   * emitted in the thread that cancelled the operation, not the
   * thread that is running the operation.
   *
   * Note that disconnecting from this signal (or any signal) in a
   * multi-threaded program is prone to race conditions. For instance
   * it is possible that a signal handler may be invoked even after
   * a call to g_signal_handler_disconnect() for that handler has
   * already returned.
   * 
   * There is also a problem when cancellation happens right before
   * connecting to the signal. If this happens the signal will
   * unexpectedly not be emitted, and checking before connecting to
   * the signal leaves a race condition where this is still happening.
   *
   * In order to make it safe and easy to connect handlers there
   * are two helper functions: g_cancellable_connect() and
   * g_cancellable_disconnect() which protect against problems
   * like this.
   *
   * An example of how to us this:
   * |[<!-- language="C" -->
   *     // Make sure we don't do unnecessary work if already cancelled
   *     if (g_cancellable_set_error_if_cancelled (cancellable, error))
   *       return;
   *
   *     // Set up all the data needed to be able to handle cancellation
   *     // of the operation
   *     my_data = my_data_new (...);
   *
   *     id = 0;
   *     if (cancellable)
   *       id = g_cancellable_connect (cancellable,
   *     			      G_CALLBACK (cancelled_handler)
   *     			      data, NULL);
   *
   *     // cancellable operation here...
   *
   *     g_cancellable_disconnect (cancellable, id);
   *
   *     // cancelled_handler is never called after this, it is now safe
   *     // to free the data
   *     my_data_free (my_data);  
   * ]|
   *
   * Note that the cancelled signal is emitted in the thread that
   * the user cancelled from, which may be the main thread. So, the
   * cancellable signal should not do something that can block.

/**
 * g_cancellable_source_new:
 * @cancellable: (nullable): a #GCancellable, or %NULL
 *
 * Creates a source that triggers if @cancellable is cancelled and
 * calls its callback of type #GCancellableSourceFunc. This is
 * primarily useful for attaching to another (non-cancellable) source
 * with g_source_add_child_source() to add cancellability to it.
 *
 * For convenience, you can call this with a %NULL #GCancellable,
 * in which case the source will never trigger.
 *
 * The new #GSource will hold a reference to the #GCancellable.
 *
 * Returns: (transfer full): the new #GSource.
 *
 * Since: 2.28
