Quantlib on sun solaris 8

[Xavier.Abulker]

Hello,
I have a problem using Quantlib on Sun solaris 8.
the results I find for Black&Scholes pricing is wrong,
for example the example EuropeanOption gives me:
"
Time to maturity = 0.25
Underlying price = 102
Strike = 100
Risk-free interest rate = 0.05
Volatility = 0.2

Method          Value   EstimatedError  Discrepancy     Rel. Discr.
Black Scholes   3.2422  0.0000          0.000000        0.000000
Call-Put parity 3.2422  N/A             0       0.000000
Integral        5.8308  N/A             2.588611        0.798407
Finite Diff.    5.8309  N/A             2.588639        0.798416
MC (crude)      5.8313  0.0117          2.589092        0.798555
MC (antithetic) 5.8284  0.0052          2.586132        0.797643
Binomial (JR)   5.8308  N/A             2.588541        0.798385
Binomial (CRR)  5.8311  N/A             2.588926        0.798504"

Here the result for Black Scholes   3.2422 is wrong.
I've tested on Windows with Borland compiler and the result is correct
there:
Time to maturity = 0.25
Underlying price = 102
Strike = 100
Risk-free interest rate = 0.05
Volatility = 0.2

Method          Value   EstimatedError  Discrepancy     Rel. Discr.
Black Scholes   5.8308  0.0000          0.000000        0.000000

Integral        5.8308  N/A             0.000001        0.000000
Finite Diff.    5.8309  N/A             0.000029        0.000005
MC (crude)      5.8435  0.0117          0.012658        0.002171
MC (antithetic) 5.8319  0.0052          0.001048        0.000180
Binomial (JR)   5.8308  N/A             0.000069        0.000012
Binomial (CRR)  5.8311  N/A             0.000315        0.000054

another problem, the example SwapValuation  crashes on Unix but works well
on NT.

I'm using the same version of quantlib: version 0.3.0 and gcc version
2.95.3 20010315 (release)

Is someone using the same configuration?
Thanks for your help

Xavier

Xavier,

just a thought: Do you get the same results with all -Optimizations disabled?

Hi Jens,
thanks for your reply, where is this -Optimizations located?
I can't find any occurence Optimizations in any of text files into the
Quantlib directory.
Is it an option of compilation?
Thanks
Xavier

Salut Xavier!
The thing is to delete -O2 (or -O3) from the compiler options.
You can try to set the environment variable CXXFLAGS to "-g"
e.g. if you use bash:
export CXXFLAGS="-g"
If this works, you can try to increment the optimization level by
setting CXXFLAGS to "-g -O1"

Regards,
Sad

Hi Sad,
unfortunately it gives the same error:
this is my Unix cession:

The Black Scholes price is still wrong.

Xavier,

you must -- of course -- recompile the whole QuantLib library (thats were
the calculations are done!) without compiler optimizations. And use a "make
clean" before! Just removing the target won't help, since all optimizations
are done while compiling to the .o files.

With higher opt.levels (like -O1, -O2, etc.) compilers are more likely to
produce errenous code due to over-agressive optimizations techniques.

Hi Jens,
this is what I did and I still have the same problem:

> export CXXFLAGS="-g"
>make clean

I have removed the -o3 from all the files in the quantlib directory the -o3
(36 files)
I checked the result of the make command into a file make.txt to be sure
that there's no -o3 used during the compilation. There's no -o3

>make

If I test EuropeanOption, the result is still wrong.
Thanks
(See attached file: make.txt)

Hi Jens,
this is what I did and I still have the same problem:

> export CXXFLAGS="-g"
>make clean

I have removed the -o3 from all the files in the quantlib directory the -o3
(36 files)
I checked the result of the make command into a file make.txt to be sure
that there's no -o3 used during the compilation. There's no -o3

>make

If I test EuropeanOption, the result is still wrong and SwapValuation
crashes.
Thanks

Xavier,

you must -- of course -- recompile the whole QuantLib library (thats were
the calculations are done!) without compiler optimizations. And use a "make
clean" before! Just removing the target won't help, since all optimizations
are done while compiling to the .o files.

With higher opt.levels (like -O1, -O2, etc.) compilers are more likely to
produce errenous code due to over-agressive optimizations techniques.


Jens.
