'strcpy' with 'malloc'?

Question

Is it safe to do something like the following?

#include 
#include 
#include 

int main(void)
{
    char* msg;
         


        

Answer 1

The first version is not safe. And, msg should be pointing to valid memory location for "Hello World!!!" to get copied.

char* msg = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char) * 15);
strcpy(msg, "Hello World!!!");
