The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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++?
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).

30 years of DOOM: new code, new bugs
The attentive reader may notice that this code is from a third-party library. So, we didn't want to include it in the article at first. However, we found something interesting. In 2017, somebody opened an issue in the asmjit project: the GCC 7.2 compiler issued a warning to the code above. The project authors fixed it:
-
How do I get the registers of a process in C++?
You can use something like https://asmjit.com/ to generate and call x64 code at runtime.

Compiler Design in C++
But an easy to create a JIT would be to use https://github.com/asmjit/asmjit, which is used in RPCS3.

Are there any low level, cross platform assembly languages that allow jumping to non labels?
You could go the way of https://asmjit.com (or forth) and make it your assembler DSL on top of the low-level call.

But if you're willing to get closer to the hardware is https://github.com/bitfunnel/nativejit/ and https://asmjit.com/

Wrapping dynamically generated void(*)() pointers in try-catch?
https://github.com/asmjit/asmjit is nice. But using a JIT seems like a sledgehammer working around a lacking design.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing mir and asmjit you can also consider the following projects:
LuaJIT - Mirror of the LuaJIT git repository
fasmg - flat assembler g - adaptable assembly engine
Cwerg - The best C-like language that can be implemented in 10kLOC.
oneDNN - oneAPI Deep Neural Network Library (oneDNN)
