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.

What is an example of non-linear static data structure and what is an accurate breakdown of ds types?
Can create a ton of theoretical examples, but even in practice we use such data structures. An example that first came to mind is gperf which generates static hash table data structure for predefined set of strings (So you cannot add or remove any elements).

Hashtables
gperf is a generator for perfect hash functions. Its documentation has a bibliography that might contain helpful links.

Generating the code for an efficient conditional tree to select from a list of strings
I think gperf is what you need. Alternatively cmph.

How to emulate map literals in C?
Adding to this, there are tools such as gperf which are specifically designed for this. Apparently gperf works well for smaller number of keys but not for really high n (> 100,000 ish) and mph apparently works better for larger n.

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.

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?
