Template function syntax highlighting not working

[FrederickAmpsUp]

Environment

• OS and Version: Kali Linux (ubuntu 22.04)
• VS Code Version: 1.83.1
• C/C++ Extension Version: 1.17,5
• If using SSH remote, specify OS of remote machine: N/A

Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Bug Summary: When calling a template/generic function on a class or pointer type, the function name isn't highlighted yellow like with non-generic calls.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Make a generic function
2. Call it
3. The name is highlighted as a variable name rather than a function name

Expected behavior: The function name is highlighted yellow rather than light blue.

    this->_shader->use();

------- Workspace parsing diagnostics -------
Number of files discovered (not excluded): 26698
Number of files parsed: 1261

------- Potential include path issues --------
Some headers exist in multiple locations. If IntelliSense is behaving incorrectly,
try adding one of the alternate paths to the "includePath" in your configuration in
c_cpp_properties.json to override the automatic path discovery for that header.

Could you please provide the exact code snippet that is causing this issue for you?

[browntarik]

Could you provide a screenshot of the code highlighting? I believe I have created a similar setup but the functions you have provided are being highlighted yellow (see below):

You forgot the template part of the template function...
