Technically, there's no such thing in C as such. The #define substitutes 
the actual value for the name before the "compiler proper" ever sees it.

That's why the C standard requires something like
   f(3 + 2);
to not do any additions before invoking f(5). Otherwise, people would 
hesitate to use something like
#define LAST (PREV+1)
