I need some help in proper usage of the following line

CvMat(const CvMat& m) { memcpy(this, &m, sizeof(CvMat));}

Is it correct to update the memcpy_s instead of memcpy

no, this is entirely incorrect. CvMat is a composite (non POD) object, you cannot simply memcpy it.

but: the whole C-api is deprecated, and was abandoned already in 2010, (given your issue above, you may understand, why)

YOU MUST NOT USE ANY OF THIS

please use the c++ api, cv::Mat instead

please have a look at opencv's tutorials, you may have to re-learn all of it
