[LLVMdev] How to get the return address on the stack on LLVM

[Xueying ZHANG]

Hi Anton,

Thanks for your reply!

I'm now stuck at a problem with the Intrinsic function returnaddress.
I call it twice in the function.

For the first time, it goes to the correct address which storing  
return address.
And then it saves the content it reads into the local stack.
But when I call returnaddress again, it just reads from the local stack.

How can I solve this problem?

Thank you
Ying
