searching for function definitions name from a list

i have function names in a text file

i am using it to search function definition names in a C file using Perl

CODE I used

#checks whether it has ; present in which case it becomes function declaration
if ($src_line =~ /$func\([^;]+$/)

This works for only function definitions of type

int foo(int a, int b)

But doesn't work for function:

int bar (int c, int d)        #having space after function name

How do i make it work for both cases.

Then, just add \s* (meaning: 0 space or more) to your expression:

/$func\s*\([^;]+$/
