## Detailed Description

Base class for event.

This class acts as a base class for the actual event implementations.

## Member Function Documentation

virtual bool hasOccurred | ( | const Date & | refDate = `Date()`,
|  | boost::optional< bool > | includeRefDate = `boost::none`
| ) |  | const`[virtual]`

returns true if an event has already occurred before a date

If includeRefDate is true, then an event has not occurred if its date is the same as the refDate, i.e. this method returns false if the event date is the same as the refDate.
