No, this is expected behavior : the begin method just starts the async
method, and does not wait for the return value and thus returns void.
But I don't understand how is this related to the topic (connecting an
async method to a signal).
What I was suggesting is that you should be able to pass the begin
method as a signal handler (assuming your signal doesn't expect the
handler to return a value), so when the signal is emitted, your method
gets started. In your example, this would be :
session_proxy.name_acquired.connect (this.name_acquired.begin);
