I'm saying that LLVM can produce code for the Windows/ARM64 target.

As for compiling LLVM itself to run on ARM64 on Windows, I don't know how 
to configure MSVC to do that; MSVC doesn't install the ARM64 compiler by 
default but you manually need to check a box in the installer (available 
since 15.4, and more intended for actual public use since the 15.8 
preview). No idea how you configure that in CMake.

You can build LLVM+Clang for ARM64 with Clang/mingw-w64/libcxx though, 
with the same toolchain used to build VLC in that demo.
