Name

defined operator — Tests whether a macro is defined

Synopsis

defined(identifier)
defined identifier
            

The unary operator defined( identifier ) (also written as defined identifier, without the parentheses) evaluates to 1 if identifier is a known macro name at the point of the defined operator, or 0 if it is not known. The operator is evaluated only in the argument to an #if or #elif directive.

The behavior is undefined if the defined operator is used in any other way, or if the token defined results from macro expansion.
