Delphi is based on Pascal, and from what I can recall from my university textbook, there isn't any mandatory short-circuit evaluation in Pascal: it's an implementation-dependent feature. Consequently, an expression involving boolean operators in such languages may well evaluate each term (potentially causing side- effects) before determining the final result.
