Question

I am trying to highlight my own class name and function name in C++ via GVim.
I read and followed the link from stackoverflow. Please also check out the result link

I copied the following settting in my cpp.vim where is under syntax directory.

" 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 

It worked, but highlight my brackets in red. How do I disable the highlight of the brackets?
I deleted .vimrc file and open my cpp file again, it’s still same. So I think it’s the above code issue.

syn match   customFunc "\<[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z_0-9]*\>[^()]*)("me=e-2
syn match   customFunc "\<[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z_0-9]*\>\s*("me=e-1
hi def customFunc   gui=NONE guifg=#E54023   
syn match    cCustomScope    "::"
syn match    cCustomClass    "\w\+\s*::" contains=cCustomScope
hi def link cCustomClass Function

You should edit your .vimrc file. Simply add this line to the file:

let g:loaded_matchparen= 1
