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.

Are Hoistings Possible for C++?
I thought you might've meant Clang instead of LLVM, because there are C dialect compilers like cc99 which are based on LLVM, but not based on Clang. And of course there are many OpenCL compilers not based on GCC or Clang, although there are also many which are.

Are Hoistings Possible for C++?
When you say a fork of LLVM, am I correct in assuming that you specifically mean a fork of Clang? I don't see how the compiler backend would affect support for language extensions, regardless of whether it's an exception to that such as Tcc, Cproc, the MIR C jitter, lacc, 8cc, 9cc, and chibicc. Most of those are not for production, excluding Cproc and Tcc (at least according to Suckless or Oasis).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing cc99 and lacc you can also consider the following projects:
chibicc - A small C compiler
mir - A lightweight JIT compiler based on MIR (Medium Internal Representation) and C11 JIT compiler and interpreter based on MIR
oasis - a small statically-linked linux system
9cc - A Small C Compiler
acwj - A Compiler Writing Journey
c3c - Compiler for the C3 language
rust - Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
