Is #import or #include a job that is handled by the complier or by the linker?

A:
Anything that starts with # is a preprocessor directive and is expanded by the preprocessor, which is a step that happens before compilation.

+1: In short, "neither". Neither compiler nor linker.

Modern compilers usually integrate a preprocessor, but for the purpose of analysis and specification, you can still treat them separately.
