In Delphi XE2, the compiler declares 2 additional intrinsic routines that are undocumented.
They are ReturnAddress and AddressOfReturnAddress. They behaved as if they're declared like this:
function ReturnAddress: Pointer;function AddressOfReturnAddress: Pointer;
As far as I can discover, both ReturnAddress and AddressOfReturnAddress do the same thing. Return the address of the caller's next instruction.
procedure X; var P: Pointer; begin {.... other statements ... } P := ReturnAddress; // P will contain the address of the label ThisAddress after this statement gets executed. {... other statements ... } end; procedure Y; label ThisAddress; begin X; ThisAddress: {... other statements ...} end;
