No can do with standard C++. C++ doesn't even guarantee that the output happens on a console at all, it could go to a file or a printer for all you know.

As far as I know the console is bound to the prcess. So you have to 'funtion_2()' in another process. You can start another process from you current...

Look into multi-threading.

On Windows, there are functions for creating a new console, but I don't know if it's possible to have more than one at a time. I have used these functions, but that was to add a debugging console to a graphical program (to control the program with text commands). I only had one console open, and I never got it to work.
