Writing cross-platform C++ Code (Windows, Linux and Mac OSX)

Viewed 60664

This is my first-attempt at writing anything even slightly complicated in C++, I'm attempting to build a shared library that I can interface with from Objective-C, and .NET apps (ok, that part comes later...)

The code I have is -

#ifdef TARGET_OS_MAC
  // Mac Includes Here
#endif

#ifdef __linux__
  // Linux Includes Here
  #error Can't be compiled on Linux yet
#endif

#ifdef _WIN32 || _WIN64
  // Windows Includes Here
  #error Can't be compiled on Windows yet
#endif

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

bool probe(){
  #ifdef TARGET_OS_MAC
    return probe_macosx();
  #endif
  #ifdef __linux__
    return probe_linux();
  #endif
  #ifdef _WIN32 || _WIN64
    return probe_win();
  #endif
}

bool probe_win(){
  // Windows Probe Code Here
  return true;
}

int main(){

  return 1;
}

I have a compiler warning, simply untitled: In function ‘bool probe()’:untitled:29: warning: control reaches end of non-void function - but I'd also really appreciate any information or resources people could suggest for how to write this kind of code better....
