I'm sorry I didn't reply to that part of your message the first time.

I think the current code is a bit clearer, because seeing
"dwarf2_read_section" in a conditional seems strange, but seeing
"dwarf2_section_size" does not.

However, it is a minor point.  I would probably approve either patch :-)

For something like this it is just a matter of personal taste, unless
some argument emerges to prefer one approach over the other.  I think I
try to defer to other maintainers or to the original patch submitter on
matters of naming, but it is hard to say if that is what I actually do
;-)
