It's standard behavior, but have only found it on
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/cv#Notes

The const qualifier used on a declaration of a non-local non-volatile
non-template (since C++14) non-inline (since C++17) variable that is not
declared extern gives it internal linkage. This is different from C
where const file scope variables have external linkage.
