Well, you see, I think it would be perfectly nice from a compiler to provide a warning if you gave that value to a variable named pi. On the other hand, I'd expect an error where gcc only gives warning (I usually compile with -Werror, but that should be the default). -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
