Detailed Description

Atomic credit-event type.

This class encapsulates the ISDA default contractual types and their combinations. Non-atomicity works only at the atomic type level, obviating the specific event characteristics which it is accounted for only in derived classes.


Member Function Documentation

bool containsDefaultType ( AtomicDefault::Type  defType  )  const

Returns true if one or a set of event types is within this one and as such will be recognised as a trigger. Not the same as equality.

Notice that these methods do not include any event logical hierarchy. The match is in a strict sense. If event B is contained in (implied by) event A this would not send a match. This policies should be implemented at the CreditEvent class, which is polymorphic.
