vim 7.3 syntax highlight for c functions

[sinbad]

hi,

i am trying to syntax highlight the c function calls. i asked google,
someone suggested to add
the following in c.vim.

" Highlight Class and Function names
syn match cCustomParen "(" contains=cParen,cCppParen
syn match cCustomFunc "\w\+\s*(" contains=cCustomParen
syn match cCustomScope "::"
syn match cCustomClass "\w\+\s*::" contains=cCustomScope

hi def link cCustomFunc Function
hi def link cCustomClass Function

but, i have three c.vim's in my environment.

syntax/c.vim
indent/c.vim
ftplugin/c.vim

i tried adding the above in all three and in each one, but it didn't
work, instead
it highlighted the ")" or "}" in RED. where should i put those lines
for it to work
properly.

i also want to highlight the user defined typedef's with a different
color.

for example "some_struct_t", i want to highlight the words ending with
"_t"
with a different color too.

how can i achieve this. btw, why do we have three c.vim's ?

thanks
sinbad

Also look at
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3064

To highlight custom function/types, you need to define or link some
highlighting groups. I never saw anything about *_t types/structures,
but it may not be too dificult to extend for it.

hi, i tried std_c.vim script, it is working great. except that for
some "c" files
it is throwing the error.

E169: Command too recursive
line 940:
E169: Command too recursive
Press ENTER or type command to continue

this is the culprit line. "exec "syn sync ccomment cComment
minlines=".b:c_minlines"

" Highlight re-syncing distance.
if exists("c_minlines")
let b:c_minlines = c_minlines
else
let b:c_minlines = 15
endif
exec "syn sync ccomment cComment minlines=".b:c_minlines

i don't know much about the "syn sync", is it known issue, have you
been facing the same problem
and any pointers to how to fix it, will be helpful.

thanks
