    Yes there is:

    :nnoremap <F5> :<C-U>make %:r && ./%:r<CR>
    

    This will run make with the C++ file (less its extension) as the target and run the file in the same directory with that target’s name.

    See the following :help for more information…

    • nnoremap: Create a normal-mode mapping
    • <F5>: for F5 (other function keys are available)
    • <C-U>: clear the command-line
    • make: call 'makeprg', which is make by default
    • %:r: root of the current filename (extension removed)
    • <CR>: execute all this

    If you want this for all Vim sessions, place this into your .vimrc:

    nnoremap <F5> :<C-U>make %:r && ./%:r<CR>
    

    Update:

    You may also find the SingleCompile Vim script to be handy for C++ and many other languages besides.
