It is a difference between two addresses, and I believe the value should not be very large.

Anyway, I'll follow your advise if you prefer to use %PRIu64.

In addition, addr is 'unsigned long addr', sym->start is 'u64', the type if
this expression is more or less obscure to readers. By investigating all caller
of get_srcline(), I find that the type of 'addr' should be 'u64', not 'unsigned long'.
So I'll post another patch which fixes param list of get_srcline() also.

Thanks.
