[Quantlib-dev] SVN TestSuite Build Error - changing syntheticcdoengines.hpp (line 84) corrected error

[Craig M. <cra...@ya...>]

I pulled down the SVN last night and ran a batch build to see how things are going.  According to my build syntheticcdoengines.hpp (line 203) throw an error C2664.   My previous build ran without this error, the primary change being syntheticcdoengines.hpp (line 84) supplied a default value to the MidPointCDOEngine.
       
MidPointCDOEngine (Period stepSize = 0*Days) {}

I didn't dig into this to understand correctness, but changing this line back fixed the build error

First Batch Build: typical build error
All testsuite project configurations report this error:

        Reason: cannot convert from 'QuantLib::Period' to 'const QuantLib::MidPointCDOEngine'

Second Batch Build: Changed the syntheticcdoengines.hpp(84) back to previous syntax
   MidPointCDOEngine (Period stepSize = 0*Days) {}
