9.5.2 Pre-processing expressions
Pre-processing expressions can occur in #if and #elif directives. The
operators !, ==, !=, && and || are
permitted in pre-processing expressions, and parentheses may be used for
grouping.

( whitespaceopt pp-expression whitespaceopt )
When referenced in a pre-processing expression, a defined conditional
compilation symbol has the boolean value
true, and an undefined conditional compilation symbol has the boolean value
false.
Evaluation of a pre-processing expression always yields a boolean value.
The rules of evaluation for a preprocessing
expression are the same as those for a constant expression (§14.15),
except that the only user-defined
entities that can be referenced are conditional compilation symbols.
