I presume you mean oid_add(). There is no add_oid() declared in oids.h (at least in the current dev Wireshark source).

A quick grep suggests that oid_add() is called only in oids.c so presumably examining that code will answer your question.

(I converted your answer to a comment; Please see the FAQ).

add_oid() is static in oids.c and is not declared in oids.h (at least in the dev Wireshark sources).

Thus add_oid() is called only within oids.c; looking at the calls should answer your question.
