UGC NET CSE | December 2007 | Part 2 | Question: 33

Question

Absolute loader demands that the programmer needs to know the :

• A. start address of the available main memory

• B. total size of the program

• C. actual address of the data location

• D. absolute values of the operands used

Answer 1

Absolute loader

•  No linking and relocation needed

A is correct as in case of absolute loader the compiler assumes the starting address is from 0, (actually it always assumes that) which isn't always true. So we need to know the start address of the available main memory so that we can adjust accordingly beforehand.

A is correct.
