FRAME RETURN ADDRESS

The FRAME RETURN ADDRESS directive provides for functions that use a register other than LR for their return address. You can only use it within functions with FUNCTION and ENDFUNC or PROC and ENDP directives.

Note

Any function that uses a register other than LR for its return address is not AAPCS compliant. Such a function must not be exported.

Syntax

FRAME RETURN ADDRESS reg

where:

reg: is the register used for the return address.

Usage

Use the FRAME RETURN ADDRESS directive in any function that does not use LR for its return address. Otherwise, a debugger cannot backtrace through the function.

Use FRAME RETURN ADDRESS immediately after the FUNCTION or PROC directive that introduces the function.
