Description

Defines a macro name that can be associated with an optional value. This option is equivalent to a #define preprocessor directive.

If a value is not specified, name  is defined as "1".

Alternate Options

None

Example

To define a macro called SIZE with the value 100, enter the following command:

icx /DSIZE=100 prog1.cpp 

If you define a macro, but do not assign a value, the compiler defaults to 1 for the value of the macro.
