This depends on the compiler and to some extent on the language. But in most cases, temporary values are stored in registers first. When there are not enough registers, the compiler spills them into space allocated in a stack activation record so that the space is automatically reclaimed when the current activation of the current procedure is popped. The only compilers I've ever seen allocate temporaries on a heap are for functional languages that use no stack at all. Appel's ML compiler is one I can remember off hand.
