Here I will quote some of the function declarations from this library:

    size_t ZSTD_CCtx_setParameter(ZSTD_CCtx* cctx, ZSTD_cParameter
param, int value);
    size_t ZSTD_CCtx_setPledgedSrcSize(ZSTD_CCtx* cctx, unsigned long
long pledgedSrcSize);
    size_t ZSTD_compress2( ZSTD_CCtx* cctx,
                       void* dst, size_t dstCapacity, const void* src,
size_t srcSize);

As with lzma2, this is just another variation of the same shitty C API
used by ZLib. Is that the best we can do for C++? I sure hope not...

Thanks
