You can get exceptions for range check errors (ERangeError) in case you enable range checking and include the sysutils unit in your uses clause, but in that case range checking will be performed for all assignments, not just for passed arguments (and the range is checked by the compiler at the caller side based on the declared parameter types, not at the callee side). There are only a few routines in the RTL that explicitly raise it after explicitly checking their arguments.

C# has nullable types, and my guess would be that the ArgumentNullexception
happens you assign/pass a nullable value with NULL to a non-nullable
equivalent.

So it could be that it corresponds to some EVariantisnull error, but that is
a bit of a stretch.
