I'd keep the functions separate, it's better if they return different sized integers.

Yes, I was thinking that the debug sections should be loaded into memory; not sure how this works for ELF, how does the debugger find the debug info in that case?

There is a reason for this: DecodeNextSection() calls:
```ReadImageData(offset, size)```
and when the debug info sections are embedded in the wasm module (not loaded from a separated symbol file), ReadImageData() calls Process::ReadMemory() that, for a GDB remote connection, goes to ProcessGDBRemote::DoReadMemory(). Here I pass the offset because it also represents the specific id of the module loaded in the target debuggee process, as explained in the comment above.
