As it is written in Free Pascal wiki

order of parameter evaluation is not defined in FPC, but it is defined
in Delphi (Delphi guarantees left-to-right evaluation order).
IMHO =in fact evaluation of a parameter should not be guaranteed at all.
The compiler should be free to inline a function, detect that the
parameter is not necessary for the evaluation of the function result and
drop the evaluation of the parameter (maybe giving a warning or error
message if that might trigger side-effects).
