I did not want to do this, but it seems to be the easiest route. I will
probably go with this, since manually traversing the call stack does
not seem to be a normal thing. I don't even know how to do it.

Unfortunately, I cannot spend the time launching a subprocess. I had
hoped for a more direct solution. Nevertheless, thank you very much.

Thank you very much for the reply, but I need a way to get the address
of an object earlier in the call stack.
