Title says it all. If hnswlib is included in multiple source files, we observe linking errors like:

CMakeFiles/libtest.dir/src/find_nearest_neighbors.cpp.o: In function `cpuid(int*, int, int)':
/home/luna/Code/knncolle/build/_deps/hnswlib-src/./hnswlib/hnswlib.h:29: multiple definition of `cpuid(int*, int, int)'
CMakeFiles/libtest.dir/src/Hnsw.cpp.o:/home/luna/Code/knncolle/build/_deps/hnswlib-src/./hnswlib/hnswlib.h:29: first defined here
CMakeFiles/libtest.dir/src/find_nearest_neighbors.cpp.o: In function `xgetbv(unsigned int)':
/home/luna/Code/knncolle/build/_deps/hnswlib-src/./hnswlib/hnswlib.h:32: multiple definition of `xgetbv(unsigned int)'
CMakeFiles/libtest.dir/src/Hnsw.cpp.o:/home/luna/Code/knncolle/build/_deps/hnswlib-src/./hnswlib/hnswlib.h:32: first defined here
CMakeFiles/libtest.dir/src/find_nearest_neighbors.cpp.o: In function `AVXCapable()':
/home/luna/Code/knncolle/build/_deps/hnswlib-src/./hnswlib/hnswlib.h:54: multiple definition of `AVXCapable()'
CMakeFiles/libtest.dir/src/Hnsw.cpp.o:/home/luna/Code/knncolle/build/_deps/hnswlib-src/./hnswlib/hnswlib.h:54: first defined here
CMakeFiles/libtest.dir/src/find_nearest_neighbors.cpp.o: In function `AVX512Capable()':
/home/luna/Code/knncolle/build/_deps/hnswlib-src/./hnswlib/hnswlib.h:81: multiple definition of `AVX512Capable()'

etc.

I believe this should be easily fixed by adding an inline at the start of every function's definition, e.g.

inline void cpu_x86::cpuid(int32_t out[4], int32_t eax, int32_t ecx) {
    __cpuidex(out, eax, ecx);
}

This includes all the DISTFUNC-based functions in the space_*.h headers.
