Nope, it's going to be very implementation dependent.

GCC has a bunch of builtins that might do what you want. For example
__builtin_return_address, __buitin_frame_address, and a bunch of others.

If you want more detailed information, you'll probably have to compile your
application with debugging and then use something like libbfd to introspect
your program. That will be tricky, but I don't know of any reason it won't
work.
