Well, I tested: It uses the type of the first Param. So it calls a
function for both param of type Byte. The cardinal argument is
converted. (potentially truncated).
I agree that Delphi should have used a better algorithm, like checking
the var/out arguments first and otherwise use the smallest
integer that fits all related params. Same for strings and boolean.
pas2js uses a similar algorithm.
Considering that we're talking mainly about differences of width and
precision (e.g. the differences between a string and a record are more
clear) this can probably be improved without considering Delphi here,
because this is nowhere documented... (our non-generic overload
selection might lead to different results after all as well) But even if
we only improve this for non-Delphi modes I agree that a suggestion like
yours would be an improvement.

Sven
