look at the way you are using strcpy() function

const char * path ="/work1/data/xxxx/yyy/file_name.txt";
char * basename;
char * filename;

basename = _strdup(path);
if ( !basename){/*handle error*/}


filename = basename+strlen(basename);

while (filename != basename && *(filename) != '/')
  filename--;

if ( filename != basename)
{
  *(filename+1)='\0';
}
else
  *basename='\0';

printf("%s\n", basename);
free(basename); /* REMEMBER TO FREE */

CMyclass2::CMyclass2
