Alpha (and probably Itanium): Approximately never.

x86-64: After the following overall sequence of events:

1) Integration of Fortran 2018 into LLVM is complete,
2) x86-64 VMS is released,
3) John ports CMake to x86-64 VMS,
4) John ports a recent version of LLVM to x86-64 VMS.

My best guess is approximately lunchtime on Friday. Maybe teatime
instead if the schedule slips. :-)

I thought that was only for LLVM based compilers and that LLVM
was only going to be available for x86-64 VMS. Are there any
plans I have missed to port LLVM to earlier VMS architectures ?

Simon.
