* A minimal C API for Ceres. Not all functionality is included. This API is
* not intended for clients of Ceres, but is instead intended for easing the
* process of binding Ceres to other languages.
*
* Currently this is a work in progress.

* the stock loss functions (for example ceres::CauchyLoss), and pass the
* returned "loss_function_data" along with the ceres_stock_loss_function to
* ceres_add_residual_block().
*

*
* void* cauchy_loss_function_data =
* ceres_create_cauchy_loss_function_data(1.2, 0.0);
* ceres_problem_add_residual_block(
* problem,
