Macro to automatically unlock a mutex in a block (ansi c)
This technique is often used to implement RAII in C. See example in Standard Template Containers. The library delivers STL-like functionality to C.
-
Is using void* considered "evil" in C just as it is in C++?
I'd say it's evil, but quite understandable very commonly used because there are no built-in alternatives in C. I basically never use void* in user-code, simply because there are no need for it when using a templating technique, like in my STC library. Even in the implementation of STC itself, void* is hardly used, if at all.

[Noob Question] How do C programmers get around not having hash maps?

-
Should I use templates or stick with rewriting code?
This is more or less how C-ish templates are implemented in STC library.

What’s the right hash table API?
As the author of a STL-like templated C container library, I had many of the exact same thoughts when implementing the unordered map. In fact, I also changed to many of the suggestions here, rather than consistently following the C++ umap API. E.g.

What's the fastest high level language?
Sure it is. C misses a proper efficient generic standard/container library, like my https://github.com/stclib/STC, but that is irrelevant.

So what's the best data structures and algorithms library for C?
Some data structure and algorithm library in C enable the (optional) separation between the interface of the container (which is expanded in your header) and its implementation (which is expanded in your source), like STC.
What are some alternatives?

ctl - The C Template Library
Klib - A standalone and lightweight C library
mlib - Library of generic and type safe containers in pure C language (C99 or C11) for a wide collection of container (comparable to the C++ STL).
ctl - My variant of the C Template Library
CommonC - Common utilities for C
unordered_dense - A fast & densely stored hashmap and hashset based on robin-hood backward shift deletion
ccan - The C Code Archive Network
sgc - Generic Algorithms and Data Structures in C
stent - Completely avoid dangling pointers in C.
Containers - This library provides various containers. Each container has utility functions to manipulate the data it holds. This is an abstraction as to not have to manually manage and reallocate memory.
