Watch your datatypes and check where the defines are being used as
behaviour can differ if any C code is doing naughty under-the-covers
bit-fiddling

something like...
function AlphaByte(x :Integer):Integer;
begin
Result := X shr ALPHA_SHIFT;
end;

It may have been defined externally... It allows an outside force to provide their own
replacement... It's specifying a calling convention...
