Interest rate volatility (smile) surface.

This abstract class defines the interface of concrete Interest rate volatility (smile) surfaces which will be derived from this one.

Volatilities are assumed to be expressed on an annual basis.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

InterestRateVolSurface | ( | const boost::shared_ptr< InterestRateIndex > & | ,
|  | const Calendar & | cal,
|  | BusinessDayConvention | bdc = `Following`,
|  | const DayCounter & | dc = `DayCounter()`
| ) |  |

Warning:
  term structures initialized by means of this constructor must manage their own reference date by overriding the referenceDate() method.
