No, you don't need to re-create function B - it should keep working fine. As far as I know, functions aren't "compiled", at least at the point when you execute CREATE FUNCTION anyway - the text representation of the code is stored, and then loaded when the function is invoked. I could be wrong about this - others will know better.
