Inline adoc files when they are included exactly once. Also fix language tags because this inlining gives us better information on what language the code is written in.

== Why is this an issue?
|
|
|
|
Any class that has memory to manage should provide all the methods necessary to properly manage that memory, including a copy constructor and an override of ``++operator=++``. Without those methods, you're likely to end up with memory leaks and multiple class instances pointing at the same segments of memory for their members.

=== Noncompliant code example
|
|
|
|
[source,cpp]
|
|
----
|
|
class MyClass // Noncompliant
|
|
{
|
|
private:
|
|
char* cpData;
|
|
public
|
|
MyClass(const char* value);
|
|
~MyClass();
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
MyClass a = new MyClass("The quick red fox");
|
|
MyClass b = new MyClass("How now brown cow");
|
|
|
|
b = a; // cpData pointer, not value copied. Also b's old value not deleted: Memory leak.
