I'm a huge academic fan of what GTk has accomplished (thanks to their GObject type system), and as much as I know the C89 crowd who thinks macros are all evil probably abhor this kind of thing, I think GTk is one of the most epic, impressive, ambitious C codebases in existence. Witness as non-OO C matches, rivals, and quite often beats Qt on equivalent classes/features in plain C... It's even above "just C++ style C," as they have added features like a property and signal system...
Such a fanboy it inspired my own type system and massive core library, libgimbal, which uses a type system similar to GObject and targets game consoles like the Sega Dreamcast: https://github.com/gyrovorbis/libgimbal
