glib[1] is the easiest for me to name. In my experience, large-ish C projects
tend to include their own (developed in-house or just copy-pasted from
somewhere) implementations of linked lists or trees when needed. Or use other
utility libraries (google for "C utility library") that complement the C
standard library, which is rather bare by itself.

If you want, you can google for "C vs C++". Also - look for articles on pros
and cons of object-oriented programming in general, and C++ (as an OOP
language) in particular. That might help you understand the current situation
around C++ better.
