It is not a very good idea to put definitions in a header file. Next thing
you know,
you include the file from another translation unit and you get multiple
definitions
problems.

I'd advise that if the function is gonna be used only in one translation
unit to put
the function in that very same translation unit (declaration AND
definition).
