tfs - Are Team Foundation Server CAL licenses transferable? -

-

my organization serves application development needs number of different companies. when develop application company, typically have users company perform testing.

if use tfs web access testing, able transfer cal license 1 company's tester once project has been completed? couldn't find in licensing whitepaper.

from tfs licensing whitepaper:

if contractor using client’s team foundation server client must supply team foundation server cal contractor’s use. cal purchased separately or cal included msdn subscription client assigns contractor temporarily.

so yes, appears can transfer cals different users long 1 user using cal (accessing server) on given period. (i think "user" not locked down specific individual)

however, this:

team foundation server cals valid accessing team foundation server acquired same organization

...implies customers cannot use cals, have purchase own.

it may possible (from reading of white paper) device cal, assign laptop, , lend laptop customer. it'd best ask microsoft confirm that.

however, if customers using web interface test feedback (limited basic work item operations such reporting bugs, responding feedback requests, , viewing reports) not require cal. microsoft recognises customers need able interact server report bugs , feedback.

but if you're not sure, ask microsoft give clear (and legally watertight) answer. can read licensing documents until lose live (or more 3.2 minutes if must), or ask thousand of post our interpretations, won't know sure unless ms provide actual answer.

java - Copying object fields -

-
what best way of copying classes when need have 2 independent variables? have simple class: public class myclass { boolean = false; string b= "not empty"; } do need make method : assign(myclass data ) { a= data.a; b= data.b; } is there automatic method copy (duplicate) objects in java? do need make method : pretty close. instead of making method, should make constructor. such constructors called copy constructor , , create them this: myclass(myclass data) { = data.a; b = data.b; } and create copy of instance, use constructor this: myclass obj1 = new myclass(); myclass obj2 = new myclass(obj1); copy constructor can tedious : using copy constructor create deep-copy can tedious, when class has mutable fields. in case, assignment create copy of reference, , not object itself. have create copy of fields (if want deep copy). can go recursive. a better way create deep copy serialize , deserialize object. why not use clone()? ...

c++ - Clear the memory after returning a vector in a function -

-
i have function processes , stores lot of data in , returns results vector of class. amount of data stored in function tremendous , want clear storage memory of function after finished job. necessary (does function automatically clear memory) or should clear memory function? update: vector<customers> process(char* const *filename, vector<int> id) { vector<customers> list_of_customers; (perform actions) return list_of_customers; } variables defined locally within function automatically released @ end of function scope. destructors objects called, should free memory allocated objects (if objects coded correctly). example of such object std::vector . anything you've allocated new must have corresponding delete release storage. try avoid doing own allocation , use raii instead, i.e. containers or smart pointers.
