PI is not ANSI (checked) and as far as I know
it isn't POSIX either (unchecked).

So if you want a portable code you should
have a

#ifndef PI
#define PI 3.1415.....
#endif

somewhere (well, preferably in a *.h  file) in your program. 

Although PI and M_PI are #defined on lots of systems you
can't rely on them.
