Detailed Description

template<class ArgumentsType, class ResultsType>
class QuantLib::GenericEngine< ArgumentsType, ResultsType >

template base class for option pricing engines

Derived engines only need to implement the calculate() method.

Member Function Documentation

update()

void update ( )

virtual

This method must be implemented in derived classes. An instance of Observer does not call this method directly: instead, it will be called by the observables the instance registered with when they need to notify any changes.

Implements Observer.

Reimplemented in LatticeShortRateModelEngine< CapFloor::arguments, CapFloor::results >, LatticeShortRateModelEngine< VanillaSwap::arguments, VanillaSwap::results >, LatticeShortRateModelEngine< Swaption::arguments, Swaption::results >, and LatticeShortRateModelEngine< CallableBond::arguments, CallableBond::results >.
