automatic/static memory allocation

Question

Maybe a naive question, but...

Confirm or deny:

The existence of memory for objects/variables of automatic and static storage duration is determined compile-time and there is absolutely zero chance that the program will fail runtime because there wasn't enough memory for an automatic object.

Naturally, when the constructor of an automatic object performs dynamic allocations and such allocation fails, we consider this to be a failure on dynamic allocation, and not automatic.
