RIP only gives address of the next instruction. How does CE gets the (real) address before this instruction?

I've tried looking at the source but I got lost at this line:

Code:
debugeventhandler.pas
TDebuggerthread(debuggerthread).Synchronize(TDebuggerthread(debuggerthread), foundCodeDialog_AddRecord);


Lazarus steps over it and CE marks the bp as being handled but I still cannot see the "real" address. Could someone please point me to the source where the magic happens?

it disassembles the previous instructions until it has the best guess what the RIP actually is. (it's still a guess)

Ah okay. I thought as clever as you are there migh be a super secret way to do this and you figured it out.

Could you tell me where this happens in code (which file / method or even better a line number?) I would like to take a look at and learn from it as my own way, which works the same, sometimes not work as good as CE.
