</span>Hi,<br>
<br>
In my view, the linker.<br>
<br>
The compiler normally generates absolute addresses (starting from<br>
0), creating object code.<br>
<br>
Then the linker generates an executable by combining different<br>
object files together and assigning virtual addresses.<br>
<br>
Finally, is CPU (MMU) job (with the kernel helping) to translate<br>
these virtual addresses to physical ones.<br>
<br>
