I'm not sure how to calculate it in compile time, because the call frame
doesn't have a fixed size, because I'm using the same stack for storing the
call-frames and for the operations evaluation (iadd, isub, etc..). Maybe I
should split it into two stacks, one for the call frames, and the second for
the operation evaluations. I just sharing my thoughts.

[I would think that your compiler should always know how many partial
results are on the stack above the call frame so it should be able to
use a fixed offset to get to the chain pointers at the base of call
frame. -John]
