Unfortunately, it isn't possible without adding the function to a
header.
I deleted `get_order_from_str()` from mm/shmem.c just to test it:
mm/shmem.c:5230:13: error: call to undeclared function
'get_order_from_str'; ISO C99 and later do not support implicit function
declarations [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
5230 | start =
get_order_from_str(start_size);
| ^
mm/shmem.c:5233:19: error: call to undeclared function
'get_order_from_str'; ISO C99 and later do not support implicit function
declarations [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
5233 | start = end =
get_order_from_str(subtoken);
| ^
2 errors generated.
make[3]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:229: mm/shmem.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:478: mm] Error 2
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
Please, check the discussion I had with Barry about the pros and cons of
copy and paste and code refactor [1][2]. We ended up deciding to
duplicate the code.
