C/C++ - working with interrupts in visual studio c++ - c++

Question

I am a computer science student and recently learned how to use interrupts in C.
after a couple of search in web I came up with this code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <dos.h>
#include <conio.h>
#ifdef __cplusplus
#define __CPPARGS ...
#else
#define __CPPARGS
#endif
#define INTR 0x1c
#define gotoxy(x,y) printf("\033[%d;%dH", (x), (y))
//#define clear() printf("\033[H\033[J");
/*
//positioning
void gotoxy(int x, int y)
{
printf("%c[%d;%df",0x1B,y,x);
}
*/
void interrupt handler(__CPPARGS);
void interrupt ( *oldhandler)(__CPPARGS);
int countS = 0;
int s = 0;
int m = 0;
int ms = 0;
int l = 0;
int flag = 0;
int main(void)
{
clrscr();
printf("%02d:%02d:%02d",m,s,ms);
oldhandler = getvect(INTR);
setvect(INTR, handler);
char c;
while(1)
{
c = getch();
switch(c){
case 'e':
goto exit_loop;
break;
case ' ':
flag = 1-flag;
break;
case 'r':
flag = s = m = ms = l = 0;
clrscr();
printf("%02d:%02d:%02d",m,s,ms);
break;
case 'l':
gotoxy(++l,0);
printf("%02d:%02d:%02d",m,s,ms);
break;
}
}
exit_loop:;
setvect(INTR, oldhandler);
return 0;
}
void interrupt handler(__CPPARGS)
{
if(flag == 1){
countS++;
ms += 55;
if(countS == 18)
{
countS = ms = 0;
s++;
if(s==60)
{
m++;
s = 0;
}
}
gotoxy(0,0);
printf("%02d:%02d:%02d",m,s,ms);
}
}
this code is some kind of stopwatch in C console application and its work perfect in historical Turbo C++.
I changed my IDE and now using Visual studio 2013, when i create a new project in Visual C++->win32ConsoleApplication and paste this code in the main file. its not work. then an error says that i should add #include "stdafx.h" in the first of my file. after doing so, this is my main error list:
Error 1 error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'handler' c:\users\mohammad\documents\visual studio 2013\projects\consoleapplication1\consoleapplication1\consoleapplication1.cpp 32 1 ConsoleApplication1

these errors are related to these lines:
void interrupt handler(__CPPARGS);
void interrupt ( *oldhandler)(__CPPARGS);
and using of: clrscr();
my operation system is windows 10-64bit and its my first time programming in c/c++ in visual studio. I do some in Turbo c++ and devC++ before but only Turbo c++ run this sample and not even devC++. what is the diffrenses and how should I solve this?
thanks

You are working in 64-bit long mode, so you don't have access to real-mode BIOS interrupts or MS-DOS services. Your code has a number of other issues but the bottom line is it's not going to work without a 16-bit compiler and an emulator (like the NTVDM which is absent on 64-bit Windows)
