Summary of Changes

Hello @junrushao, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request reintroduces the __init__ constructor for tvm_ffi.Function, enabling users to create FFI function objects directly from Python callables. This change, previously reverted, is now deemed safe to merge due to a related downstream fix. The implementation involves Cython code to manage the conversion and proper handling of Python functions, along with corresponding type hints and a new test case to ensure correctness.

Highlights

  • Reintroduction of tvm_ffi.Function constructor: The __init__ method for tvm_ffi.Function has been re-added, allowing direct initialization of FFI function objects from Python callables. This feature was previously reverted and is now reintroduced following a downstream fix.
  • Cython Implementation: The __init__ method is implemented in python/tvm_ffi/cython/function.pxi, providing the necessary logic to convert Python callables into FFI function handles, including type checking for callable and handling existing tvm_ffi.Function instances.
  • Type Hinting and Testing: A type hint for the new __init__ method has been added in python/tvm_ffi/core.pyi, and a new test case, test_pyfunc_init, has been included in tests/python/test_function.py to validate the constructor's functionality.

Code Review

This pull request reintroduces the tvm_ffi.Function.__init__ method, allowing for more convenient creation of tvm_ffi.Function objects from Python callables. The changes span C++ header files for documentation updates, Python stub files for type hinting, the core Cython implementation, and a new test case. My review focuses on the Cython implementation, where I've identified a potential memory leak and suggested a fix to ensure resource safety.

Calling __init__ on an already-initialized tvm_ffi.Function object will cause a memory leak. The current implementation overwrites self.chandle without decrementing the reference count of the previously held handle. To prevent this and enforce that __init__ acts as a one-time constructor, you should add a check to ensure the object is not already initialized.

        if self.chandle != NULL:
            raise TypeError("A tvm_ffi.Function object can only be initialized once.")

        cdef TVMFFIObjectHandle chandle = NULL
        if not callable(func):
            raise TypeError(f"func must be callable, got {type(func)}")
        if isinstance(func, Function):
            chandle = (<Object>func).chandle
            TVMFFIObjectIncRef(chandle)
        else:
            _convert_to_ffi_func_handle(func, &chandle)
        self.chandle = chandle
