String Arthimetic

Question

I have 1GB of memory.
After I declare a string x add a offset of 1GB and interact
with it the program error comes up.

Example:

char *x + offset;
memset(x, offset, 1GB-1);

I did a little digging, came across that I can use the malloc and it'll work.

My question is how do I get it to work without using the malloc?
What's is the basic concept which I need in order to build my own which can handle 1GB or more?
