I don't know when this would be released, but the minimal supported LLVM version will have a strong influence on the availability of that feature. If today this JIT compiling was released with only LLVM 5/6 support, it would be unusable for most Debian users (llvm-5 is only available in sid). Even llvm 4 is not available in latest stable. I'm already trying to build with llvm-4 and I'm going to try further with llvm 3.9 (Debian Stretch doesn't have a more recent than this one, and I won't have something better to play with my data), I'll keep you informed. For sport, I may also try llvm 3.5 (for Debian Jessie). Pierre
