You can do it this way, but you can do it a way more resembling your original description too. I don't know what your intended error reporting interface for other I/O errors looks like, but if it can be querried after the fact, i.e. it maintains something like errno, then buf = g_object_new(X_TYPE_FILE_BUFFER, "filename", "foo.txt", NULL); if (!buf) { ... } can be done completely equivalently buf = g_object_new(X_TYPE_FILE_BUFFER, "filename", "foo.txt", NULL); if (x_file_buffer_error(buf)) { ... g_object_unref(buf); } If not, the x_file_buffer_load_from_file() approach with immediate error reporting makes more sense.
