Add __init__ to the Cython Function class so users can write:

fadd = tvm_ffi.Function(add)

instead of going through tvm_ffi.convert_to_tvm_func. The constructor:

  • Validates that the argument is callable
  • Copies the handle (with incref) if the input is already a Function
  • Otherwise converts via _convert_to_ffi_func_handle

Also adds the corresponding type stub in core.pyi and a test in test_function.py.

Re-lands the original change reverted in #406.

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 enhances the tvm_ffi.Function class by allowing direct construction from Python callables. This change streamlines the process of wrapping Python functions for use within the TVM FFI system, making the API more intuitive and reducing the need for explicit conversion utilities. It also includes necessary type hinting and a dedicated test to ensure correctness and maintainability.

Highlights

  • Direct Function Construction: Enabled direct initialization of tvm_ffi.Function objects from Python callables, simplifying API usage by allowing tvm_ffi.Function(my_python_func).
  • Robust Constructor Logic: Implemented the __init__ method with validation for callable arguments, proper handling of existing tvm_ffi.Function instances (with reference counting), and conversion for other callables via _convert_to_ffi_func_handle.
  • Type Stub and Test Coverage: Added a type stub for the new __init__ method in core.pyi and a new test case in test_function.py to verify the functionality of direct callable wrapping.
  • Re-landed Feature: This change re-introduces functionality that was previously reverted in a prior pull request (Revert "feat: Add tvm_ffi.Function.__init__" #406).

🧠 New Feature in Public Preview: You can now enable Memory to help Gemini Code Assist learn from your team's feedback. This makes future code reviews more consistent and personalized to your project's style. Click here to enable Memory in your admin console.

Changelog
  • python/tvm_ffi/core.pyi
    • Added __init__ method signature to the Function class.
  • python/tvm_ffi/cython/function.pxi
    • Implemented the __init__ method for the Function class to accept a Python callable.
    • Added logic to validate if the input is callable.
    • Included logic to handle tvm_ffi.Function instances by incrementing their reference count.
    • Integrated _convert_to_ffi_func_handle for other callable types.
  • tests/python/test_function.py
    • Added test_pyfunc_init to verify the direct construction of tvm_ffi.Function from a Python function.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a convenient __init__ method for the tvm_ffi.Function class, allowing direct instantiation from Python callables. The changes include the implementation in Cython, corresponding type stubs, and a new test case. My review focuses on improving the implementation's clarity and expanding test coverage for the new feature. I've suggested a small refactoring in the constructor logic for better readability and proposed additions to the test suite to cover more scenarios, such as creating a Function from an existing one and handling non-callable inputs.

Enable creating `tvm_ffi.Function` directly from a Python callable or
an existing Function instance via its constructor, e.g.
`tvm_ffi.Function(add)`.
