Detailed Description

template<template< class > class MC, class RNG, class S = Statistics> class QuantLib::McPricer< MC, RNG, S >

base class for Monte Carlo pricers

Eventually this class might be linked to the general tree of pricers, in order to have tools like impliedVolatility available. Also, it could, eventually, offer greeks methods. Deriving a class from McPricer gives an easy way to write a Monte Carlo Pricer. See McEuropean as example of one factor pricer, Basket as example of multi factor pricer.
