vim - Coloring defined types as types -

is there way add syntax coloring new types defined typedef statements in c?

typedef struct {     int a,b; } mystruct;  mystruct *initmystruct(mystruct *struct, int a, int b);     ^         ^           ^               ^      ^     +---------+-----------+               +------+     same color                             correct type color 

if it's not possible natively (i guess so), there plugins make visual clue work?

i found exact solution question in vim's help, , i'm posting here in case needs in future. it's want: way read code , highlight accordingly.
