[AVRO-1941] avrogencpp: unlike java, c++ generated code doesn't include own schema

• Type: Improvement
• Status: Open
• Priority: Major

Description

All the classes generated for java include a copy of their schema. The C++ classes do not.

Every generated java class has getClassSchema().
Something similar for C++ would be convenient.

During generation, the schema is available with n->printJson(..) which can then be passed through boost::algorithm::erase_all() to remove whitespace and new lines, and then boost::algorithm::replace_all() to add escape characters back.
and then given to avro::compileJsonSchemaFromString
