Try:

inline int inline_foo(int bar) {
	...
}

int function_foo(int bar) {
	return inline_foo(bar)
}

(I'm not recommending the naming conventions, just the technique.)

You have to duplicate the declaration part, but at least the code only has
to be written once.

This is also useful if you want to take the address of the function,
although the compiler can deal with that automatically.
