[Quantlib-dev] Enum convention in QuantlibAddin

[Francois B. <ig...@gm...>]

Hi,

I want to implement some more classes in the add-in. What is the convention
for specifying enum parameters? I see some conflicting examples.

In termstructures.xml , for qlInterpolatedYieldCurve, the InterpolatorID is
defined as a string and there is a complicated parsing algorithm to convert
that to an enum. But according to
http://quantlib.org/quantlibaddin/extend_enum_tutorial.html the parameters
can be declared as enums directly in the XML.

There is also a commented out qlPiecewiseYieldCurveImprovements section in
piecewiseyieldcurve.xml. I assume this is work in progress. This part also
uses the enum way.

How should I proceed?

thanks
Francois Botha
