use of MakeSchedule class

[Fabio Ramponi]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the class MakeSchedule to create a Schedule.

My aim is to create a schedule with MakeSchedule, then use the method MakeSchedule::withNextToLastDate() to set the private member nextToLastDate_ and recalculate the Schedule with the MakeSchedule::Schedule() operator.

Now, the problem is that the operator Schedule() updates the nextToLastDate and firstDate fields in the new Schedule if and only if
stubDate_ != Date()

But stubDate_ is initialized to Date() in the MakeSchedule constructor and then no other methods allow to change it, so I can call the method withNextToLastDate(), but the new schedule cannot use the updated field.

My question is: what is stubDate_ intended for? could it be a bug to be fixed?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Fabio

Yes, that's a bug---sorry about this. It's been fixed for next release.
In the meantime, you can patch operator Schedule() to use firstDate_ and
nextToLastDate_ if stubDate_ == Date().
