Invalid Read access

Hi All,

I would like to know how the valgrind find the runtime allocation related issues?such as the below

Code:
invalid read of size 4.
Invalid write of size 4.

Even the size of memory is known at runtime,valgrind reports this

I am asking this since i got an issue which is trying to access unknown memory and that size is declared at compile time.
memcpy() statement throws
Code:
Invalid read error

.


Thank you
