The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Using Xmake for C/C++ Program Development in VSCode
It's easier to list what is not wrong about CMake. The only positive thing about CMake is that it works once you spend days or weeks ripping your hair out trying to configure it. cmake-init is a perfect example of what is wrong with it. Over 400 commits, lots of files to properly start a project. No other language does that, because it is unspeakably bad.

Is there a convention for "private" struct members?
Opaque structs and memory allocation are orthogonal. You can just take the size and alignment of the struct and create a new one with a byte buffer: https://github.com/friendlyanon/generate-opaque-structs

Using Xmake for C/C++ Program Development in VSCode
Besides, a CMake project that focuses only on building something doesn't need more than a CML file. If you compare the baseline with a fully populated cmake folder (https://github.com/friendlyanon/cmake-init-executable) and this one https://github.com/friendlyanon/generate-opaque-structs then you can see that you don't need anything from the baseline, but it's all very useful stuff that everyone should use.
