Re: [Quantlib-dev] Debugging dates

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

Thanks Michael and Peter.

This is definitely a wonderful little hidden gem. Wish I knew about this
before. I adds a lot of value for the boost classes, but I can't get it to
work for Date. It seems you can use only data members, and not functions,
e.g. .dayOfMonth(). Do you know of a workaround? In the meantime I'm
looking into using EEAdIn (
