STC
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.

Generic C Library
Much thought was given to this problem. C++ templates are inline by default so they do not have this issue, but they also do not generate any functions which are not called. That is not the case for my library, every function will be generated even if you do not need it. I did that for all the functions for primitive types here.

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?
Collections-C - A library of generic data structures for the C language.
ctl - The C Template Library
stc - Speedy TypeScript type checker
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).
sc - Common libraries and data structures for C.
Klib - A standalone and lightweight C library
ctl - My variant of the C Template Library
CommonC - Common utilities for C
ccan - The C Code Archive Network
unordered_dense - A fast & densely stored hashmap and hashset based on robin-hood backward shift deletion
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.
