Description
The first syntax ("variable-definition") defines a variable named ident, or assigns a value to an element of an array named ident. If none of the public, protected, or private keywords are specified, default visibility is assumed.
The second syntax ("macro-definition") defines a macro named ident. When defining a macro there must be no whitespace between macro name and opening parenthesis, otherwise it will be treated as variable declaration.
The third syntax ("default-visibility-set") sets the default visibility of further variable and macro definitions in this file. If no visibility declaration occurs in a file, public visibility is assumed by default.
Examples
#define MyAppName "My Program"
#define MyAppVer GetFileVersion("MyProg.exe")
#define MyArray[0] 15
#define Multiply(int A, int B = 10) A * B
