Finding function size at compile/link time and storing in memory.

I'm writing an application in which I want to obtain the code of a particular function during runtime.
Obtaining the code of a function is not a problem, as I just used function pointer to obtain the start address of the function. However, I'm not able to determine the end of the function.
I can solve this if I can obtain the size of the function and store it at a known memory location.

Is it possible to accomplish the above using:

1. ASSEMBLY: Use labels in assembly code to find the size of the function.
2. LINKER SCRIPT/SCATTER FILES: Use linker scripts or scatter files to find the size of the function.

Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
