To define a macro called SIZE with the value 100, enter the following command:
On Windows* systems:
icx /DSIZE=100 prog1.cpp ! specific to C++
dpcpp-cl /DSIZE=100 prog1.cpp ! specific to DPC++
On Linux* systems:
icpx -DSIZE=100 prog1.cpp ! specific to C++
dpcpp -DSIZE=100 prog1.cpp ! specific to DPC++
If you define a macro, but do not assign a value, the compiler defaults to 1 for the value of the macro.
