This adds the infrastructure for the "field cache", which is just various helpers for the dc_get_field() interface. This includes the 'dc_field_cache_t' structure that a libdivecomputer backend can just add to its parser data structure, and a few macros to make it very easy to initialize the fields and then return them in the 'get_field()' callback. And part of it is the infrastructure support for the 'dc_field_string_t' type, which adds the support for string fields. That will be used to return various string-formatted data from the dive computer, like deco models, serial numbers, etc. And no, a serial number is most definitely not a "number". It's a string. Right now there are no users of this yet, that comes next. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
