Detailed Description

Member Function Documentation

◆ setupArguments()

void setupArguments ( PricingEngine::arguments *  ) const
virtual

When a derived argument structure is defined for an instrument, this method should be overridden to fill it. This is mandatory in case a pricing engine is used.

Reimplemented from Instrument.

◆ setupExpired()

void setupExpired ( ) const
protectedvirtual

This method must leave the instrument in a consistent state when the expiration condition is met.

Reimplemented from Instrument.
