[Dev-C++] Pointer string declaration initialization problem (?)

[<and...@su...>]

Dear users,
This is a simple question:
Please, consider the following the two codes with
their respective results:

code 1:
1 -#include <stdio.h>
2 -#include <stdlib.h>
3 -#include <string.h>
4 -
5 -int main()
6 -{
7 -   char *name="name1";
8 -
9 -   printf("%s\n", name);
10-   strcpy(name, "name2");
11-   printf("%s\n", name);
12-
13-   system("PAUSE");
14-   return 0;
15-}

execution results from code 1:
Access violation as a consequence of line 10.

code 2:
1 -#include <stdio.h>
2 -#include <stdlib.h>
3 -#include <string.h>
4 -
5 -int main()
6 -{
7 -   char *name;
8 -
10-   name = malloc(6*sizeof(char));
11-   if(!name) exit(1);
12-   strcpy(name, "name1");
13-   printf("%s\n", name);
14-   strcpy(name, "name2");
15-   printf("%s\n", name);
16-
17-   system("PAUSE");
18-   return 0;
19-}

execution results from code 2:
name1
name2

My question:
   Doesn´t a pointer support an implicit memory allocation
through the declaration/inicialization on line 7 from code 1
the same way a

    char name[]="name1";

can do?

Regards
Andre
