Intel® Fortran Compiler 16.0 User and Reference Guide

D

Defines a symbol name that can be associated with an optional value.

Syntax

Linux and OS X:

-Dname[=value]

Windows:

/Dname[=value]

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

noD

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 the fpp option.

Caution

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