Are you looking in Clang's source, and that from the same 7.0 version?
If not, you should be. It traces back to 2010; r105500 to be exact:
https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-commits/Week-of-Mon-20100531/030985.html

For a long while references were in a single file (Targets.cpp), but
they'd been split up into one file per target before 7.0
(Targets/XYZ.cpp).

I think that's unlikely.

No, but I am sure the LargeArray stuff exists and behaviour I see from
multiple targets matches what I'd expect from the values I see set in
the source.

Cheers.
