Notepad++ has the run feature, but as far as I know it's unable to help you debugging (e.g. stepping through code, watching variables, etc.).

Your best bet would be using a simple batch file to compile the code and run your debug commands, but as far as I know you can't include everything into Notepad++ (i.e. it's no real C/C++ IDE).

Only option you've got is adding the created batch file as the program to be run by NppExecute.

Edit: Overall, as rkosegi suggested, if possible, use a more up-to-date toolchain.

Microsoft's Visual C++ Express Edition can be downloaded for free and used for private or commercial projects.

If you target cross platform code, it might be easier to use MinGW to use GCC/G++ under Windows.

I wondering why somone wants to use turbo C++.If you run Windows, just use Visual Studio Express, or Dev-C++.If you still want to use Turbo C you will run into several problems with compatibility of this ancient software.
