Actually building a library to interface to GMP from another
language may
(and has) require digging into the C code.

Is there any particular reason why you won't stick to the
documented
interface presented in the manual?
mpq_cmp_ui is in the manual, _mpq_cmp_ui isn't. If you were
to stick
to the documented interface instead of hunting through the
code,
you'd have avoided these questions.
In case you don't know, the manual is at
www.swox.com/gmp/manual/
