Run a c ++ program in eclipse by opening the windows console (cmd) [message #1818493]

I compile a program written in c ++ in eclipse that includes non-standard functions such as "kbhit ()". When it runs, I want the windows console (cmd) to open automatically, because the eclipse console does not work for non-standard functions. In ancient eclipses, like Luna or Mars it did work, but from Eclipse Neo it doesn't work anymore. Do you know how I could do it?
Thank you.

Why do you think it no longer works?
What happens if you run the program in a system terminal?
Things you should know:

You likely have to defeat buffering for something like kbhit() to work with the Eclipse run console
You can execute cmd.exe from any Run/Debug/ExtTool launcher
Any launcher with Eclipse probably will still be run in the Eclipse console

The second was discussed here which you've already seen.

You can set the console to no buffering as discussed here though it may not work depending on your OS.

As for kbhit(),
