A function call usually involves some set-up that is done as part of
function call, such as pushing a stack frame to contain the local
variables, and remembering where to return to. Jumping into the middle
of the function without doing that set-up would cause problems.

The closest I know of are coroutines.

Are you trying to achieve something specific, or just curious?
