In my program, I'd like to refer the location where data files are
installed. In plain Makefile, it could be done like

gcc -DPREFIX "/usr/share"

and in the source file, data path is generated in

#define DATAPATH PREFIX "/data"

with autoconf, how could I use the path specified by --prefix in source
code? Is there a pre-defined MACRO for this?
Autoconf has no business in handling Makefiles.

I.e. the answer to your question depends upon your way to propagate autoconf variables to your Makefile-system.
