So at most this should be a static local variable in a function that accesses the algorithm (though perhaps these "compression algorithm" classes shouldn't be accessible directly, and only through singleton accessors in the defined alongside - like there's no reason for LLVM to contain more than one instance of ZlibCompressionAlgorithm, I think?)

So long as the compression algorithm objects are stateless, this would be acceptable - such objects would be thread safe for multiple concurrent users.
