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 X systems, if you are not specifying a value, do not use D for name, because it will conflict with the -DD option.
Alternate Options

Linux and Mac OS X: None Windows: /define:name[=value] |

Linux and Mac OS X: -nodefine Windows: /nodefine |
