Problems with (low-level functions) mpn_.

[Décio Luiz Gazzoni Filho]

The problem with your code is that you are passing variables of type mpz_t as 
arguments to mpn_add_n. mpz_t is just an opaque struct, whereas mpn functions 
expect a pointer to the data itself. This pointer is a member variable of 
said opaque struct. According to gmp.h, the member variable in question is 
_mp_d. I believe if you were to replace numero_0x by numero_0x._mp_d, and 
provided your input data is coherent, the program should work. Please note 
that I have little experience with mpn functions, apart from a few lines of 
code I wrote six months ago.

BTW, are you really sure you need to use these functions? This code I wrote 
required the use of mpn because, with mpz, a step of the algorithm I was 
implementing at the time, which should run in time O(1), would take time 
O(n). Unless you're facing a similar problem, there's no point in using mpn.
