Syntax highlighting not fully applied

[dunpyl]

I installed the plugin via Vundle per the instructions. When I try to highlight the following small snippet:

    class Foo { 
        Function(double variable);
        MyType foo;
    }

It doesn't highlight the word Function like it does in the screenshot. It also doesn't doesn't highlight the word MyType.

I checked the highlight group and for both words it's cBlock.

What's wrong?

I'm also having trouble with highlighting declarations. I've configured let g:cpp_class_decl_highlight = 1 but code like CustomType a; doesn't highlight CustomType even though using :hi I can see that cppStructure is already linked to Structure which is colored in. Not sure what the issue is.

I also have this issue, I would really like MyType to be highlighted the same colour as for example int. Does anyone have a fix?

CustomType a;

You're not going to be able to highlight your own types in this syntax without some kind of compiler backend, so it's a known limitation that it unlikely to be addressed anytime soon.

I'm probably showing my lack of knowledge of how things work in the background here, but wouldn't this just require a regex e.g. class (\w+) on the file in question, along with its header imports?

Perhaps it is determining which files to look in that is the hard part.

It's been ages but did anyone figure it out or find another syntax highlighting solution?
