The assembler window (ctrl+alt+d) may help you to check what asm block fpc
generated for its pascal code, for example, in my target (64 bits) the
following asm block code was generated for a `ptr := pvmt(classtype)`:

...
unit1.pas:36                              ptr := pvmt(classtype);
000000000045E7A1 488b45f0                 mov    -0x10(%rbp),%rax
000000000045E7A5 488b00                   mov    (%rax),%rax
000000000045E7A8 488945e0                 mov    %rax,-0x20(%rbp)
000000000045E7AC 488945e8                 mov    %rax,-0x18(%rbp)

and iirc the default asm syntax for my system (linux) is at&t.
