Part 5: Best Practices for MadExcept + BPL Projects To avoid ever needing to search for madexceptbpl top again, follow these golden rules:

call TopOfStack -> returned 0x... In poorly symbolized call stacks, this becomes [madexceptbpl] top . madexceptbpl top

Inside madExcept.pas , there is a function called TopOfStack (or GetTopOfStack ), which returns the highest memory address of the current thread’s stack. When an exception occurs in a BPL, MadExcept sometimes logs the instruction before the crash as: You can safely ignore this as internal bookkeeping
