This calls move_position with the value next:
bool DwarfFile::MarkedDwarfFileReader::move_position(const long offset) {
if (offset == 0) {
return true;
}
return set_position(_current_pos + offset);
}
Then set position
bool FileReader::set_position(long offset) {
Both will promote whatever "wasted type" to a long. I probably should make
this a long though.
