it's not clear what "has_size" means, actually. E.g., array type
definitely has size, it's not just as readily available. And you are
actually misusing this in your algorithm, I'll point it out in the
respective patch. Please remove this, or if absolutely necessary move
into btf_dump.c as an inner static function.

there is btf_int_encoding(), btf_ind_offset() and btf_int_bits() that
properly decompose what btf_int() above returns. I'm not convinced
btf_int() has to be exposed as a public API.
