memcpy and malloc syntax highlighting in vim for c program

Question

I did enable the vim syntax highlight in vimrc,I can see void and int keyword is different color than other code,but the problem is I cannot see the function syntax highlight, function like memcpy malloc doesn't have syntax highlight,and of course my own function doesn't have syntax highlight too,

I use this C syntax file extension, and I would recommend it, because it works nice: all functions, both built-in and user-defined, are highlighted. You can check out screenshot.

Just for your information: there's colorscheme desert256 on this screenshot, but, of course, you can use any colorscheme.

vim only highlight keywords of C, such as if, else, while ... and "string literal".

Because it's can be easily parsed by regex.

Only compiler can tell memcpy is a function.

Please download a colorscheme from here and update your .vimrc with colorscheme <name-of-the-color-scheme> to get highlighting.

Please refer this for details in vim colorscheme
