The compiler. Compiler is a translator program that converts high-level language program into machine language. ... The resulting object code produced by the compiler is incomplete. It lacks actual memory addresses of functions and data variables defined elsewhere.

Does compiler allocate memory?

Memory can be allocated for data variables after the program begins execution. This mechanism is known as runtime memory allocation or dynamic memory allocation.
