=head1 NAME

Net::DBus::Binding::PendingCall - A handler for pending method replies

=head1 SYNOPSIS

my $call = Net::DBus::Binding::PendingCall->new(method_call => $call,
                                                  pending_call => $reply);

# Wait for completion
  $call->block;

# And get the reply message
  my $msg = $call->get_reply;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This object is used when it is necessary to make asynchronous method
calls. It provides the means to be notified when the reply is finally
received.

package Net::DBus::Binding::PendingCall;

use 5.006;
use strict;

                                                      pending_call => $pending_call);

Creates a new pending call object, with the C<method_call> parameter
being a reference to the C<Net::DBus::Binding::Message::MethodCall>
object whose reply is being waiting for. The C<pending_call> parameter
is a reference to the raw C pending call object.

sub new {
    my $proto = shift;
    my $class = ref($proto) || $proto;
    my %params = @_;
    my $self = {};

$self->{connection} = exists $params{connection} ? $params{connection} : die "connection parameter is required";

    $self->{pending_call} = exists $params{pending_call} ? $params{pending_call} : die "pending_call parameter is required";

bless $self, $class;

return $self;
}

=item $call->cancel

Cancel the pending call, causing any reply that is later received
to be discarded.

=cut

sub cancel {
    my $self = shift;

$self->{pending_call}->dbus_pending_call_cancel();
}

=item my $boolean = $call->get_completed

Returns a true value if the pending call has received its reply,
or a timeout has occurred.

=cut

sub get_completed {
    my $self = shift;

$self->{pending_call}->dbus_pending_call_get_completed();
}

=item $call->block

Block the caller until the reply is received or a timeout
occurrs.

=cut

sub block {
    my $self = shift;

$self->{pending_call}->dbus_pending_call_block();
}

=item my $msg = $call->get_reply;

Retrieves the C<Net::DBus::Binding::Message> object associated
with the complete call.

=cut

sub get_reply {
    my $self = shift;

my $reply = $self->{pending_call}->_steal_reply();
    my $type = $reply->dbus_message_get_type;
    if ($type == &Net::DBus::Binding::Message::MESSAGE_TYPE_ERROR) {
	return $self->{connection}->make_raw_message($reply);
    } elsif ($type == &Net::DBus::Binding::Message::MESSAGE_TYPE_METHOD_RETURN) {
	return $self->{connection}->make_raw_message($reply);
    } else {
	die "unknown method reply type $type";
    }
}

=item $call->set_notify($coderef);

Sets a notification function to be invoked when the pending
call completes. The callback will be passed a single argument
which is this pending call object.

=cut

sub set_notify {
    my $self = shift;
    my $cb = shift;

$self->{pending_call}->_set_notify($cb);
