[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Highlight C function names (patch available) (#1231)

[linvinus]

parsing function parameters was bad idea, i have removed this part, but now if geany know class, then object initialization will not highlighted.

there is C style (class is unknown), it looks like C prototype

and this is C++ style (class is known)

there is another idea, if file type GEANY_FILETYPES_CPP or GEANY_FILETYPES_C will be available on Scintilla lexer side , then lexer may change highlighting behavior, for example don't highlight C-style prototypes at all, because they are looks like object initialization, which is used in C++ very often.

for example, don't highlight 'spaceText' part
```C++
std::string spaceText(virtualSpace, ' ');
```
what do you think?
