+add_definitions
+---------------
+
+Adds -D define flags to the compilation of source files.
+
+::
+
+ add_definitions(-DFOO -DBAR ...)
+
+Adds flags to the compiler command line for sources in the current
+directory and below. This command can be used to add any flags, but
+it was originally intended to add preprocessor definitions. Flags
+beginning in -D or /D that look like preprocessor definitions are
+automatically added to the COMPILE_DEFINITIONS property for the
+current directory. Definitions with non-trivial values may be left in
+the set of flags instead of being converted for reasons of backwards
+compatibility. See documentation of the directory, target, and source
+file COMPILE_DEFINITIONS properties for details on adding preprocessor
+definitions to specific scopes and configurations.
