I'm not quite sure what you mean here.  When a function is used (as
opposed to being declared), it is not given a special font; when it is
declared, it gets font-lock-function-name-face.  Class members, including
its constructors, count as "functions" here.

Would you please supply an actual short example of what is going wrong.
C++ is an unusually difficult and complicated language to parse, and
there are certainly some bugs in C++ Mode at the moment.  It would be
nice to fix them.

Thanks for taking the trouble to report the bug.
