MATLAB: #define does not work in the xx.cpp file using mexFunction

cdefinemeffunction

I met errors when compile the test.cpp file.
When i remove #define, and use prhs[] and plhs[] directily, no errors. Many thanks.
My enviroments:
* >> myCompiler = mex.getCompilerConfigurations
* 
* myCompiler = 
* 
*   CompilerConfiguration with properties:
* 
*              Name: 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2012'
*      Manufacturer: 'Microsoft'
*          Language: 'C++'
*           Version: '11.0'
*          Location: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0'
*           Details: [1x1 mex.CompilerConfigurationDetails]
*        LinkerName: ''
*     LinkerVersion: ''

You should not have the semi-colons at the ends of the #define
