when you do maloc or new , space is allocated from heap segment of your process address space. Though you have alllocated (sizeof(struct abc) space but strcpy copies "abcde" beyond your allocated space and overwrite the contents, we should avoid this scenario and use strncpy so that it cannot go beyond alloacted space.. you never know if some one using the buffer beyond p.
