1) Nobody. It's standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)[^] but it's not an "owned thing".

2) They are picked up from library files which are either added to your app binary file by the Linker stage (which happens after the compiler) or are accessed from their own library files (often with a .DLL extension) while your code is running.

3) Not a question.

4) Source compatibility: Source-code compatibility - Wikipedia[^]
