Duplicate const qualifier allowed in C but not in C++?

by

C99 §6.7.3/4:

If the same qualifier appears more than once in the same specifier-qualifier-list, either directly or via one or more typedef s, the behavior is the same as if it appeared only once.

Yes, that is valid C99, and your discovery is correct.
