How much is string variable like a pointer to a char in C?

After I call get_buffer_text and then clear_buffer is the variable string still safe to use?

I'm overly paranoid because I've crashed C programs often by not correctly handling memory and strings.

is there a reason to use take_num_of_item instead of take_all_of_item?

This has probably already been discussed but I couldn't find the answer in a quick search.

begindefineitem 450;  clear;  it_name = "Tradable Metal";  it_full_name = "Tradable Metal";  it_variety = 21;  it_floor_which_sheet = 1017;  it_floor_which_icon = 5;                                      it_inventory_icon = 6;                                        it_value = 0;                                                 it_weight = 0;                                                it_identified = 1;                                            it_icon_adjust = 16;

I tried giving 20 of these with reward_give and it makes a awful mess. How do i make a item with no special abilities that stacks?
