Can GMP compress a vector into an integer?

[David McKen]

When you say compress I assume you mean convert to a large integer. You
wont get much (if any) compression by converting a set of integers into
one number (correct me if I am wrong).

mpz_import is you best bet. It doesn't take a vetor but an array of word
values. Seeing that a vector stores the data in a contiguous block of
memory, you may be able to take the address of the first element and try
feeding that to mpz_import. If you want to play it safe you could just
copy the values to an array and then give that to mpz_import.

Hope this Helps
