<p>The simplest way to use define is to write
</p>
<p><dl class='group--doc'><dd>#define <identifier> <replacement string><br />
</dd>
</dl>
</p>
<p>which will cause all subsequent occurances of 'identifier' to be
replaced with the replacement string.
</p>
<p>Define also has the capability to use arguments, thus a line like
</p>
<p><dl class='group--doc'><dd>#define <identifier>(arg1, arg2) <replacement string><br />
</dd>
</dl>
</p>
<p>would cause identifer to be a macro. All occurances of
'identifier(something1,something2d)' would be replaced with
the replacement string. And in the replacement string, arg1 and arg2

</dd>
<dt class='head--doc'>Bugs</dt>
<dd class='body--doc'>
<p>Note that it is not a good idea to do something like this:
</p>
<p>#define foo bar // a comment
</p>
<p>The comment will be included in the define, and thus inserted in the
code. This will have the effect that the rest of the line will be
ignored when the word foo is used. Not exactly what you might expect.
