positional_only_passed_as_keyword(PyThreadState *tstate, PyCodeObject *co,
Py_ssize_t kwcount, PyObject* kwnames,
PyObject *qualname)

int posonly_conflicts = 0;
PyObject* posonly_names = PyList_New(0);
for(int k=0; k < co->co_posonlyargcount; k++){
PyObject* posonly_name = PyTuple_GET_ITEM(co->co_localsplusnames, k);
for (int k2=0; k2<kwcount; k2++){
/* Compare the pointers first and fallback to PyObject_RichCompareBool*/
PyObject* kwname = PyTuple_GET_ITEM(kwnames, k2);
if (kwname == posonly_name){
if(PyList_Append(posonly_names, kwname) != 0) {
goto fail;
}
posonly_conflicts++;
continue;
}
int cmp = PyObject_RichCompareBool(posonly_name, kwname, Py_EQ);
if ( cmp > 0) {
if(PyList_Append(posonly_names, kwname) != 0) {
goto fail;
}
posonly_conflicts++;
} else if (cmp < 0) {
goto fail;
}
}
}

This implemention doesn't take in account case when PyList_New returns NULL.
If PyList_New(0) returns a NULL, PyList_Append will be failed with segfault, cause of Py_TYPE, which will try to reach out ob_type. of (PyObject *) NULL.
This hard to reproduce, because the only way PyList_New can error, if it is runs out of memory, but theoretically it can happen.
