mpq_cmp_z

[Marco Bodrato]

Ciao,

Sorry Vincent, you suggested a simple function and received back a
technical discussion about casting in C...

Maybe changing the prototype of mpq_cmp_maybe_z to
int mpq_cmp_maybe_z (mpq_srcptr op1, const void *op2, int op2_is_mpz)

so that we can pass to it either an mpq_srcptr or an mpz_srcptr,
then replace occurrences of NUM(op2) with ((mpz_srcptr) op2), and
occurrences of DEN(op2) with DEN((mpq_srcptr) op2)...

Regards,
