Guard localsplus_names against a length mismatch with localspluskinds.
PyCode::replace accepts replacement name tuples but clones the existing localspluskinds. PyCode::new derives localsplus_names from the replacement tuples and only checks the lengths with debug_assert_eq!. A length mismatch can panic in debug builds or make localsplus_name(i) index past localsplus_names in release builds. Return ValueError from replace when the lengths differ, or recompute localspluskinds.

CPython Objects/codeobject.c co_varnames positional-only argument count validation code constructor
💡 Result:
In the CPython source code (specifically Objects/codeobject.c), the construction of code objects is primarily handled by the function PyCode_NewWithPosOnlyArgs [1][2][3]. This function acts as the canonical constructor for code objects when positional-only arguments are present, enforcing several integrity checks and invariants before the code object is instantiated [3]. Regarding positional-only argument count validation and co_varnames: 1. Relationship with co_varnames: The constructor validates that the total number of arguments (argcount, posonlyargcount, and kwonlyargcount) is consistent with the provided local variables (co_varnames) [4][5][1]. The co_varnames tuple must have a length (co_nlocals) that matches the expected local variable count, ensuring there are enough names to cover all arguments, including positional-only ones [4][5][6]. 2. Validation Logic: The implementation ensures that the number of local variables is sufficient to accommodate all arguments defined by the function signature [4][5][1]. For instance, it checks that the sum of argcount, kwonlyargcount, and flags (such as CO_VARARGS or CO_VARKEYWORDS) does not exceed the size of co_varnames [4][5]. If the provided varnames tuple is too small to cover the specified argument counts, the function raises a ValueError ("code: varnames is too small") [4][5][1]. 3. Evolution: While the core requirement that co_varnames must be large enough to hold all local variables and arguments has remained a consistent invariant [4][5][1], the internal validation mechanisms have evolved alongside CPython's internal representation of variables (moving from separate tuple structures like co_freevars/co_cellvars to unified structures like localsplus in more recent versions) [5][6]. In newer versions, validation often includes verification via internal helper functions like _PyCode_Validate, which checks for overall internal consistency of the code object structure [5][6][3]. Because these functions are low-level C-API interfaces, they do not perform the same high-level type checking as the Python compiler; they assume the caller provides valid parameters and will raise errors or trigger internal assertions if the provided arguments violate the VM's expectations [2][3].

Reject argument layouts that exceed co_varnames.
build_localspluskinds assigns argument kinds only while local_index < varnames.len(). Therefore, PyCode::py_new and PyCode::replace can construct code objects with fewer locals-plus slots than their argument metadata requires. Reject layouts where co_varnames cannot cover positional, keyword-only, *args, and **kwargs slots. Also reject co_posonlyargcount > co_argcount before calculating the positional-or-keyword count.
