Explanation:
I'd go for 'range pointer' unless the extended context suggests that 'frame pointer' is approprate (a frame is a memory range that is logically structured in a particular manner). As a side comment, the German statement is technically incorrect: a range pointer is a reference to a user-defined range, not the actual range.
