Question

In C i used strcpy to make a deep copy of a string, but is it still ‘fine’ to use strcpy in C++ or are there better alternatives which i should use instead ?

Answer 1

In C++ the easiest way is usually to use the std::string class instead of char*.

#include <string>
...
  std::string a = "Hello.";
  std::string b;
  b = a;

The line “b = a;” does the same thing you would usually do with strcpy.
