Member Function Documentation

Date latestDate (  )  const [virtual]

latest relevant date

The latest date at which discounts are needed by the helper in order to provide a quote. It does not necessarily equal the maturity of the underlying instrument.

Reimplemented from RateHelper.

void setTermStructure ( YieldTermStructure  )  [virtual]

sets the term structure to be used for pricing

Warning:
Being a pointer and not a shared_ptr, the term structure is not guaranteed to remain allocated for the whole life of the rate helper. It is responsibility of the programmer to ensure that the pointer remains valid. It is advised that rate helpers be used only in term structure constructors, setting the term structure to this, i.e., the one being constructed.

Reimplemented from RateHelper.
