  //   control will resume when the call returns, which may be on the next
  //   line. (If the compiler knows the callee never returns, it may even
  //   place the call instruction at the very end of the caller's machine
  //   code, such that the "return address" (which will never be used)
  //   immediately after the call instruction is in an entirely different
  //   function, perhaps even from a different source file.)

  // On some architectures, the return address as saved on the stack or in
  // a register is fine for looking up the point of the call. On others, it
  // requires adjustment. ReturnAddress returns the address as saved by the
