Gerrit0 opened a new pull request, #3128: URL: https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/3128
## What is the purpose of the change As requested by AVRO-4035, this uses the `doc` field from the avro schema when generating code. That is, this schema: ```json { "type": "record", "doc": "Top level Doc.\nWith multiple lines", "name": "RootRecord", "fields": [ { "name": "mylong", "doc": "mylong field doc.", "type": "long" }, ``` Generates the following when run through `avrogencpp` ```c++ // Top level Doc. // With multiple lines struct RootRecord { typedef _bigrecord_Union__0__ myunion_t; typedef _bigrecord_Union__1__ anotherunion_t; // mylong field doc. int64_t mylong; ``` Note: I decided to use line comments (`//`) rather than block comments (`/*` or `/**`) as they make the logic for handling escapes simpler, and make it easy to properly indent the entire comment when generating comments for record fields. ## Verifying this change This change is already covered by existing tests - avrogencpp is used to compile several schemas which include `doc` fields. The generated code is still valid, and one schema was adjusted to test the edge case with new lines. ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature? yes - If yes, how is the feature documented? I have updated the Jira issue to contain the release note: > avrogencpp will now include the `doc` fields in schemas in the generated code for records -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
