+ For Itanium processors, all function calls are made through a PLABEL, so a pointer to a function \r
is actually a pointer to a PLABEL. The pointer to the first instruction of the function \r
is contained within the PLABEL. This macro may be used to retrieve a pointer to the first \r
instruction of a function independent of the CPU architecture being used. This is very \r
