Reject excess positional arguments in ctypes calls using nonempty argtypes and paramflags when no keywords are supplied, rather than silently dropping them before the foreign call. Preserve CPython's empty-argtypes bypass and include the COM receiver in the count when applicable.
Scope
This does not implement keyword/name binding, repair malformed paramflags, or change existing empty-prototype call construction. RustPython still invokes converters during assembly before this argument-count error, while CPython validates the constructed call arguments before conversion.
Validation
Compared with CPython 3.15.0 _build_callargs; CPython 3.15 reproductions confirmed the 0/1 and 1/2 extra-argument errors, as well as its empty-prototype bypass.
RustPython was not built or executed locally. No tests were added or changed; hosted CI is expected to run the existing ctypes tests.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Calls with leftover positional arguments now raise a TypeError when argument types are specified and no keyword arguments are provided. The error reports the expected and supplied argument counts.
For calls without keyword arguments, reject extra positional arguments instead of silently dropping them before the foreign call.
Assisted-by: OpenAI Codex:model version not exposed
The call-argument builder now raises a TypeError when positional arguments remain after parameter-flag processing, if argument types are present and no keyword arguments were supplied.
After processing parameter flags, the builder rejects leftover positional arguments when arg_types is nonempty and no keyword arguments were supplied. The error reports caller_arg_idx as the expected count and args.args.len() as the supplied count.
The targeted calls now reject excess positional arguments. Keyword handling and conversion ordering remain existing limitations, and a focused regression test would improve confidence. No new merge-blocking failure is established.

Explanation
The title "Reject excess ctypes paramflags arguments" matches the main change. The raw summary says build_callargs_with_paramflags now raises a TypeError for leftover positional arguments when arg_types is nonempty and no keyword arguments were supplied. The objectives say the PR rejects excess positional arguments instead of silently dropping them before the foreign call. The title is specific and short. It does not mention the empty-argtypes bypass or the COM receiver count, but those are secondary details.

Move the excess-argument check before the parameter loop.
When argtypes and paramflags are set and extra positional arguments are passed without keywords, build_callargs_with_paramflags still converts the declared parameters. Each declared IN argument goes through convert_object, which calls the converter's from_param. Each pure OUT parameter goes through create_out_buffer, which calls the type. Both can run user-visible code. The new TypeError is raised only after the loop. A conversion error on a declared argument can therefore replace the count error. Compute the expected argument count from paramflags and reject excess arguments before the loop.

Bind or reject keyword arguments in the ctypes paramflags call path.
When keyword arguments are present, the new excess-argument check is skipped. build_callargs_with_paramflags never reads args.kwargs, so keywords are dropped. Excess positional arguments are also dropped, and the foreign function runs with fewer arguments than the caller passed.

Review comment at @crates/vm/src/stdlib/_ctypes/function.rs at line 1433:
Update build_callargs_with_paramflags so keyword arguments are not silently
ignored: bind supported keywords to their parameters or reject them explicitly.
Also reject excess positional arguments instead of dropping them, ensuring the
foreign function is called only after all supplied arguments are accounted for.
Add a regression test for the excess-positional rejection.
This PR adds no test for the new TypeError in build_callargs_with_paramflags. No test in this repository sets paramflags or asserts this rejection. A later change that removes or bypasses the guard would not fail a test in this repository.
A small case in an existing ctypes snippet would close this gap. The case should set both argtypes and paramflags, pass no keyword arguments, pass more positional arguments than parameters, and assert the new TypeError. The snippet must also produce the same output under CPython.
