## Summary of Changes Hello @tqchen, I'm Gemini Code Assist[^1]! 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 introduces a significant refactoring of the TVMFFIObject's Application Binary Interface (ABI) to enhance the efficiency of its reference counting mechanism. By consolidating the strong and weak reference counters into a single 64-bit atomic field, the design aims to reduce overhead during object lifecycle management, particularly during deletion. This approach, inspired by PyTorch's intrusive_ptr, also prioritizes cache efficiency by reordering the counter fields. The changes span across core FFI headers, memory allocation utilities, and object management logic, ensuring a consistent and optimized reference counting strategy. ### Highlights * **ABI Refactoring**: The TVMFFIObject ABI is updated to pack strong_ref_count and weak_ref_count into a single uint64_t field. * **Performance Optimization**: This change enables future optimizations by allowing atomic operations on a single 64-bit field, potentially skipping extra weak value reads during deletion, similar to techniques used in PyTorch. * **Cache Friendliness**: The reference counters are reordered to be the first fields in the TVMFFIObject struct, aiming for improved cache performance. * **Version Bump**: The apache-tvm-ffi project version in pyproject.toml has been incremented. * **Test Removal**: An old C++ ABI test file (test_c_ffi_abi.cc) has been removed. <details> <summary><b>Using Gemini Code Assist</b></summary> <br> The full guide for Gemini Code Assist can be found on our [documentation page](https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/docs/review-github-code), here are some quick tips. <b>Invoking Gemini</b> You can request assistance from Gemini at any point by creating a comment using either `/gemini <command>` or `@gemini-code-assist <command>`.
