Where is the Apache Commons for C?

Good STL-like library for C
Are there any open source C libraries with common data structures?

The Apache Commons project has always struck me as being the library of all things that were forgotten in the Java language. Nowadays I almost always include it by default as a dependency on all new projects.

Is there an equivalent of such an essential, must-have, have-it-all library for the C programming language? (And I really mean C---not C++).

Also, the only *"essential, must-have, have-it-all library"* for C++ I know is boost. — Constantinius, Oct 04 '11 at 07:55
@Constantinius fine, so tell me where I can find a stack in the C standard library. — lindelof, Oct 04 '11 at 07:56
If you are looking for specific objects/functions/functionality you should state that in your question. If not your question *'ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form'*. — Constantinius, Oct 04 '11 at 07:59
I guess C-programmers want to implement everything without extra libraries. — Juho, Oct 04 '11 at 07:59

Which is a C library, but shouldn't be confused with glibc, the GNU C Library: http://www.gnu.org/s/libc/ – John Carter Oct 04 '11 at 08:04

What you're looking for is the Apache Portable Runtime.
