I'm not sure how important it is to reveal the intention.
I think we wanted to minimize #ifdef-ery in the .c file and
moved the conditionals to the header.  Maybe we can add
a wrapper like this.

#if LIBTRACEEVENT_VERSION >= ...(1, 5, 0)
static inline bool is_relative_field(field)
{
    return field->flags & TEP_FIELD_IS_RELATIVE;
}
#else
static inline bool is_relative_field(field)
{
    return false;
}
#endif

Thanks,
