Interesting. I couldn't find any documentation on them, and fpc 2.6.0 
does give an error.

But yes, with this added info, I can at least see what you try todo.

I knew there was something like it. But didnt have the name. So I gave a 
dummy name, and commented it.

But now, I have another question:

Despite calleradresstable not working for me, if it does for you, then 
what is the problem?

Sure get_caller_addr() returns the "return address" so it will differ. I do not know haw big the offset can be at max. But unless you include a disassembler, or debug-line info, you can not get exact details.
But likely you can assume a maximum offset (depending if calleradresstable is the asm or pascal statement address).
