You should never need forward declarations for global functions in a C file,
it is error prone in any case:
* if the functions are only used in one file, make them static.
* Better, avoid forward declarations entirely by ordering the functions in the
way they are called.
* If they are used in one file and defined in another, declare them in
a common header, and only there, in order to avoid the prototypes from diverging.
