Hi,

when I compile with the -ansi switch, it seems that I don't have a
predefined
constant for PI in math.h. This can easily be fixed by defining my own
constant as

const real pi = 3.14159265358979323846;

However, I believe this is bad style. What would be a good way of  getting
a numerically accurate value of PI that is ANSI compliant?

Thanks,
Patrick
