When editing big cpp files, it can be very convenient to highlight the method name (the part after "::") in a method definition.

I use the following function in my vimrc:
<pre>
" Add highlighting for function definition in C++
function! EnhanceCppSyntax()
  syn match cppFuncDef "::\~\?\zs\h\w*\ze([^)]*\()\s*\(const\)\?\)\?$"
  hi def link cppFuncDef Special
endfunction
</pre>

I have another line to call this function automatically when editing a C++ file:
<pre>
autocmd Syntax cpp call EnhanceCppSyntax()
</pre>

This doesn't work in all cases (for instance, it doesn't highlight constructors using an initialization list on the same line) but it shouldn't highlight function calls (such as <code>MyClass::MyStaticMethod( int foo );</code> )

To further facilitate adding user-defined extensions to existing syntax files, you can use a ".vim/after/syntax/" directory. See {{help|mysyntaxfile-add}}.
