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.

Configuring Cppcheck, Cpplint, and JSON Lint
I dedicated Sunday morning to going over the documentation of the linters we use in the project. The goal was to understand all options and use them in the best way for our project. Seeing their manuals side by side was nice because even very similar things are solved differently. Cppcheck is the most configurable and best documented; JSON Lint lies at the other end.

Enforcing Memory Safety?
Using infer, someone else exploited null-dereference checks to introduce simple affine types in C++. Cppcheck also checks for null-dereferences. Unfortunately, that approach means that borrow-counting references have a larger sizeof than non-borrow counting references, so optimizing the count away potentially changes the semantics of a program which introduces a whole new way of writing subtly wrong code.

Caught signal 11 (SIGSEGV) and signal 6 (SIGABRT)
Start by feeding your codebase to a static analysis tool like cppcheck, to rule out obvious bound-checking mistakes in it.

Why static analysis on C projects is not widespread already?
Cppcheck is free. I've previously used it with a C++ project.

How to convert an enum to string in C++
I really like better_enums instead of magic_enums. There’s no limit on enum size with it: http://aantron.github.io/better-enums/
It was heavily used at a former employer of mine, so definitely a solid production-ready solution.

What C++ library do you wish existed but hasn’t been created yet?
IIRC I then switched to another library doing the same stuff: https://github.com/aantron/better-enums It is not as magical, as it uses a special macro to define the enum, using dedicated syntax. So it only works for enums you yourself define. However, it did work a lot better for me with enums with huge values.

Behind the magic of magic_enum
I can't keep up! First we have better enum, then some guy at a conference says we have to use wise enum instead, and now you speak of magic enum!

let's all be chads
If you need a laugh today, look at Better Enums library for C++. If you thought moving from C to C++ would let you leave macros behind, think again! Enums in C++ still suck (a bit less than in C though), so someone built a library to help with that. And it's built on macros. So you can only have 64 entries per enum. And the library's code is barely readable.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Cppcheck and Better Enums you can also consider the following projects:
cpplint - Static code checker for C++
C++ Format - A modern formatting library
gcc-poison - gcc-poison
stb - stb single-file public domain libraries for C/C++
Klib - A standalone and lightweight C library
cmake-lint - Fork of https://github.com/richq/cmake-lint to continue maintenance
American Fuzzy Lop - american fuzzy lop - a security-oriented fuzzer
Boost.Signals - Boost.org signals2 module
c-smart-pointers - Smart pointers for the (GNU) C programming language
constexpr-8cc - Compile-time C Compiler implemented as C++14 constant expressions
