The Delphi documentation is however rather vague:

I know this, and it says explicitly
"For the register and pascal conventions, the evaluation order is not
defined."
I think they use "evaluation order" as a synonym for "parameter passing
order" on that page, given the table below: it says that the order in which
the parameters are passed for register/pascal is undefined. That basically
means that pure assembler routines using the register or pascal calling
conventions are no longer supported in Delphi, since you can't know how the
parameters are passed (or at least there are no guarantees about it).
Probably a consequence of their adding a new llvm backend architecture.
