Nit on subject - this is a function not a routine :)

This is pretty much implicit in the series as a whole though, so probably
not worth mentioning :)

I mean this should be i huge_mm.h again imo, but at any rate I don't know why
you're moving them up here.

But maybe diff algorithm being weird?

No need to return in void functions.
