Detailed Description

Composite instrument

This instrument is an aggregate of other instruments. Its NPV is the sum of the NPVs of its components, each possibly multiplied by a given factor.

Warning
Methods that drive the calculation directly (such as recalculate(), freeze() and others) might not work correctly.
Examples
Replication.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ deepUpdate()

void deepUpdate ( )
overridevirtual

This method allows to explicitly update the instance itself and nested observers. If notifications are disabled a call to this method ensures an update of such nested observers. It should be implemented in derived classes whenever applicable

Reimplemented from Observer.

◆ isExpired()

bool isExpired ( ) const
overridevirtual

returns whether the instrument might have value greater than zero.

Implements Instrument.

◆ performCalculations()

void performCalculations ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

This method must implement any calculations which must be (re)done in order to calculate the desired results.

Implements LazyObject.
