Start in arch/x86/arch_x86.cpp at the x86 register calling-convention implementation, especially IsStackAdjustedOnReturn and GetCallLayout, and compare the proposed layout with GetDefaultCallLayout. Verify callee cleanup and that an indirect result pointer occupies the slot after declared parameters: EAX with none, EDX after one, and the stack after EAX, EDX, and ECX are used.

Descripción

The x86 register calling convention added in the recent CC refactor needs two core fixes to be laid out
correctly: callee stack cleanup, and the hidden pointer for an indirectly returned result going in the argument slot following the declared parameters (EAX with no parameters, EDX after one, the stack once EAX/EDX/ECX
are taken). Without them, every Delphi prototype with a stack argument or a string/record/variant result has its arguments shifted.

Found this while working on a delphi plugin, it certainly produces better results but haven't validated it fully by hand:
