'strcpy' with 'malloc'?

Question

Is it safe to do something like the following?

#include 
#include 
#include 

int main(void)
{
    char* msg;
         


        

Answer 1

Use:

#define MYSTRDUP(str,lit) strcpy(str = malloc(strlen(lit)+1), lit)

And now it's easy and standard conforming:

char *s;
MYSTRDUP(s, "foo bar");
