It says on this page: http://www.wholetomato.com/products/features/color.asp
that "Constructors are colored as methods."

Using C++ I've never seen my constructors colored as methods. They're always colored as classes, structures and typedefs. Am I missing something or is the documentation wrong?

I actually like the idea of ctors being a different color than methods, makes them pop out a bit more.

Yeah, it hasn't bothered me either. But that sentence in the docs just caught my eye.

A good catch, thank you for that, this is out of date information. I have made a note of this, to get the documentation updated.

Constructors used to be coloured as methods, but this was fixed / improved, to colour them as class instances instead. We just missed updating the documentation when this happened.

I think a good idea might be to have a independent color for ctors and dtors. I think that could help.

Unfortunately we don't have any current plans to add more item "types" to VA's syntax highlighting. Just getting the current types we colour coloured correctly is challenging enough.
