Back in the 60's when gotos were used, I forced a machine designer to build into the processor a register called "came from". The processor saved the instruction counter in that register whenever a jump (Goto) took place. I don't think I was the originator, I am sure other machines (they were very proprietary at the time) had a similar feature. My crusade back then was that a processor should support features of programming languages not the other way around which was the IBM methodology. The worst example being the IBM 7094 and the language modeled after its instruction set called "Fortran"
