ZSTD_estimateCCtxSize() will provide a budget large enough for any
compression level up to selected one. Unlike ZSTD_estimateCStreamSize*(),
this estimate does not include space for a window buffer, so this estimate
is guaranteed to be enough for single-shot compressions, but not streaming
compressions. It will however assume the input may be arbitrarily large,
which is the worst case. If srcSize is known to always be small,
ZSTD_estimateCCtxSize_usingCParams() can provide a tighter estimation.
ZSTD_estimateCCtxSize_usingCParams() can be used in tandem with
ZSTD_getCParams() to create cParams from compressionLevel.
ZSTD_estimateCCtxSize_usingCCtxParams() can be used in tandem with
ZSTD_CCtxParams_setParameter().
ZSTD_estimateCCtxSize() will provide a memory budget large enough
for any compression level up to selected one.
Note : Unlike ZSTD_estimateCStreamSize*(), this estimate
does not include space for a window buffer.
Therefore, the estimation is only guaranteed for single-shot compressions, not streaming.
The estimate will assume the input may be arbitrarily large,
which is the worst case.
Note: only single-threaded compression is supported. This function will
return an error code if ZSTD_c_nbWorkers is >= 1.
When srcSize can be bound by a known and rather "small" value,
this fact can be used to provide a tighter estimation
because the CCtx compression context will need less memory.
This tighter estimation can be provided by more advanced functions
ZSTD_estimateCCtxSize_usingCParams(), which can be used in tandem with ZSTD_getCParams(),
and ZSTD_estimateCCtxSize_usingCCtxParams(), which can be used in tandem with ZSTD_CCtxParams_setParameter().
Both can be used to estimate memory using custom compression parameters and arbitrary srcSize limits.
Note 2 : only single-threaded compression is supported.
ZSTD_estimateCCtxSize_usingCCtxParams() will return an error code if ZSTD_c_nbWorkers is >= 1.
