  Syntax
 
  Callifp<t>
 
  /* Indirect call to __far __pascal function returning type <t> */
 
  Possible Instructions
 
  CallifpV, CallifpW, CallifpL
 
  See: ◄P-Code Data Types►
 
  Description
 
  Perform indirect calls to __far __pascal functions. The address of the
  function is the long value on the top of the stack. The address must
  refer to either a native function or a p-code function with a native
  entry code sequence.
 
  The function is assumed to return an item of length <t>. The end
  processing of the call instruction will push the return value onto the
  stack.
 
  The instruction is generated by a code sequence like the following:
 
  <t> = (*foo)(10);        /* generates Callifp<t> */
