It would. Or you can write an if statement in the c version of the ml file to change what is printed, then let c do the hard work.

That would make the most logical sense. Since warnings can be errors and do something unintended.

No guarantees about the order in which statements appear in ml. You could store the functions in one file and the main function in another. Or you could store two arrays one containing the function definitions and the other containing the contents that will be in main and then they just write the function definitions first and then write the contents to main next. Or you could go through the file twice find the functions write them to the file and then go through the file a second time and get the statements. There are many ways to approach it.
