Re: [Quantlib-dev] Preliminary tarballs for QuantLib 1.7

[Peter C. <pca...@gm...>]

I tested QuantLib-1.7.tar.gz, it builds fine with gcc 4.9.3 / boost
1.59.0 on my machine. The test-suite runs fine as well, also under
memcheck, except for a use of uninitialized values triggered from

VPPTest::testKlugeExtOUMatrixDecomposition()

but I do not think that this is specific to the release. Maybe Klaus,
can you have a closer look ? I attach the full memcheck log.

Two more observations (also unrelated to 1.7, anyway):

The following files are wrongly marked as executable, is that coming
from the repository?

-rwxrwxr-x 1 peter peter   3085 Nov 12 15:38 ql/userconfig.hpp
-rwxrwxr-x 1 peter peter   7844 Nov 12 15:38 test-suite/observable.cpp
-rwxrwxr-x 1 peter peter  14561 Nov 12 15:38 test-suite/quantlibtestsuite.cpp

Second thing is that when running the test-suite overnight and the
system date changes in the middle of a test, the check for restoring
the settings (if applicable to the case) may fail, like here

utilities.hpp(80): error: in "QuantLib test suite/Forward option
tests/QuantLib::detail::quantlib_test_case(&ForwardOptionTest::testGreeksInitialization)":
Evaluation date not reset
  before: November 13th, 2015
  after:  November 14th, 2015

I guess that would be fixed though by the more general attempt to make
the suite deterministic w.r.t. the evaluation date (PR #313).
