Re: Exception Handling

Well, OK, this is all about getting the return address of the function being
called. As you mention, it's often something like


push ebp
mov esp, ebp


However, my question was about predicting the PC address of a particular
line of code :
e.g :


sub someFunction()
{
    A a;
    B b = new B();
    f(); // may throw
f_addr :
    // some code
}


f can throw an exception, I can in f (before longjumping to
someFunction's handler) get the return address (that will correspond
to f_addr in someFunction). The problem is in someFunction, I'd like
to have the PC address of f_addr.


In Visual C, it appears you can use the &f_addr notation to handle
this. However this is not true with ANSI C.


So my question is : is there a way (probably in assembly) to get the
address of a particular label (here f_addr) inside someFunction (I
will probably be able to get the return address in f)


Sorry for my precedent formulation, it was not clear enough.


Kind regards.

[I suspect you find that for any given compiler, there's some way to
do it, but you're unlikely to find anything portable beyond setjmp().
