Is the function strcpy always dangerous?

Question

Are functions like strcpy, gets, etc. always dangerous? What if I write a code like this:

int main(void)
{

char *str1 = \"abcdefghijklmnop\";
char *str2 = m         


        

Answer 1

Your code is not safe. The return value of malloc is unchecked, if it fails and returns 0 the strcpy will give undefined behavior.

Besides that, I see no problem other than that the example basically does not do anything.
