The only program that executes during compilation is the compiler. The compiler produces one object file for each translation unit compiled. When all translation units are compiled, the object files can then be linked together by executing the linker.
It's a syntax error, which is detected during compilation, yes.
Compilation is the process of translating source files into object files.
Preprocessing is the first stage of compilation, where macros are expanded, conditional compilation established and code replaced according to the specified directives. The resulting code produces intermediate source files which are then compiled by the main compilation process. Your IDE may include options to retain these intermediate files so you may examine them.
You will be able to understand C programs. Also to write C programs.
Programming Languages are a form of comunication between a programmer and the hardware. So the code written in C has to be compiled/transformed into machine code (similar to Assembler) so that the hardware can understand what to do. Compilation leaves your code ready to excecute. Withought it you only have the recipe of what the program does.

After main()
C++ programs won't compile if they contain compiler errors. The compiler will tell you precisely where the error is, and the type of error, unless the error is in a macro. The compiler cannot see macro definitions because they are inline expanded prior to compilation.
Compilation time.

Some C programs can be compiled in C++, yes.

C programs don't contain flowcharts.
A programmer can write programs in C, but C can't write anything by itself.
