Coding conventions for Pascal source files

Always use inline variables instead of pre-declaring them at the start of the function.
Prefer inline constants over inline variables, even for run-time values and not just for compile-time constants. Inline constants use = as the assignment operator instead of :=. For example: const MaxCount = 10;
Do not use with statements.
If and begin should be on the same line.
Else and begin should be on the same line.
A Result assignment followed by an Exit statement should be combined into a single statement. For example: Exit(ResultValue);
Do not use begin..end for single statement blocks.
Do not use Longint or LongWord, use Integer or Cardinal instead.
Use two spaces for indentation, not tabs.
Mark read-only parameters as const.
Use Windows units first, then RTL/VCL units, then Components units, then Shared units, then project specific units.

Code review guidelines for Pascal source files
All errors must be checked. Installers should be reliable above all.
Be alert for out parameters initializing to zero/empty upon function entry, unlike var parameters.
Code must be compatible with Delphi 10.4 Sydney and later.
Code must be compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit builds.
Code must be compatible with Windows 7 and later.
Do not suggest applying coding conventions to unchanged code.
Do not suggest changing an inline constant to an inline variable.
Do not nitpick, especially not about readability or subjective matters.
