I
do'nt exclude that it can be useful but then,

Delphi always saves ebx,esi,edi and therefor doesn't need to insert extra pushes. FPC uses
all available registers and for stdcall it has to insert the pushes to save the original
value.

Maybe only changing the order of the pushes and the call to FPC_NEW_CLASS can already
solve your problem with constructor and stdcall. But i don't have time to test if it
works.
