Syntax

Linux and Mac OS:	-Dname[=value] -noD
Windows:	/Dname[=value] /noD

Arguments

name	Is the name of the symbol.
value	Is an optional integer or an optional character string delimited by double quotes; for example, Dname="string".

Default

OFF	Only default symbols or macros are defined.

Description

Defines a symbol name that can be associated with an optional value.This definition is used during preprocessing.

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

If you want to specify more than one definition, you must use separate D options.

If you specify noD, all preprocessor definitions apply only to fpp and not to Intel® Fortran conditional compilation directives. To use this option, you must also specify option fpp.

Caution

On Linux and Mac OS systems, if you are not specifying a value, do not use D for name, because it will conflict with the -DD option.

Alternate Options

D	Linux and Mac OS: None Windows: /define
noD	Linux and Mac OS: -nodefine Windows: /nodefine
