OK, in more detail:
the actual offset in a std::streampos is "_Fpos + _Myoff".
std::streampos::seekpos returns "_Fpos"
std::streamoff(std::streampos) returns "_Myoff + _FPOSOFF(_Fpos)"
to get to the desired "_Fpos + _Myoff" we run:
std::streampos::seekpos() + std::streamoff(std::streampos) - _FPOSOFF(
std::streampos::seekpos() )
which is equivalent to:
_Fpos + std::streamoff(std::streampos) - _FPOSOFF( _Fpos )
which is equivalent to:
_Fpos + _Myoff + _FPOSOFF(_Fpos) - _FPOSOFF( _Fpos )
the two _FPOSOFF(_Fpos) cancel out to leave the desired:
_Fpos + _Myoff
