[Quantlib-dev] Static method for returning CommonVars

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

Hi all,

In preparation for some future development (including the long-awaited fix
for the inflation reference period that Peter and I discussed a while
back), I want to first add some tests to the inflationcpibond.cpp file. My
new tests will be based on South African CPI bonds and I thought it would
be good to move the CommonVars constructor to a static method for returning
the current UK-related data and then later do a similar static method for
South African related data.

Please have a look at this commit:
https://github.com/igitur/quantlib/commit/6dc07bcb465f632017ea037b243c691eef42fbcc

What I did there was just the first part of my goal. I moved the CommonVars
struct constructor to a static method UKVars that returns the UK-data.
This compiles, but for some reason the test fails. It looks like the link
between the zero inflation index and PiecewiseZeroInflationCurve is broken.
I can't figure out how to get the tests to work again.

I suspect this is more of a C++ query than a QuantLib query, but I'd
appreciate your help.

thanks
Francois Botha
