I'd suggest to look at 
https://gmplib.org/manual/Integer-Special-Functions ,
looking in particular for mpz_size and mpz_getlimbn ;-) (or even 
mpz_limbs_read!)
I'm sure that the same function can be rewritten using only documented 
access to the GMP types :-P

You may also look at 
https://gmplib.org/manual/C_002b_002b-Interface-General ,
in particular the function mpz_t mpz_class::get_mpz_t (), if you want to 
use the mpz_class in C++.


Anyway, the features that different users may ask for a "hash" function 
are very different...
