-LZ4_compressCtx() :
- This function explicitly handles the CTX memory structure.
- It avoids allocating/deallocating memory between each call, improving performance when malloc is heavily invoked.
- This function is only useful when memory is allocated into the heap (HASH_LOG value beyond STACK_LIMIT)
- Performance difference will be noticeable only when repetitively calling the compression function over many small segments.
- Note : by default, memory is allocated into the stack, therefore "malloc" is not invoked.
-LZ4_compress64kCtx() :
- Same as LZ4_compressCtx(), but specific to small inputs (<64KB).
- isize *Must* be <64KB, otherwise the output will be corrupted.
-
- On first call : provide a *ctx=NULL; It will be automatically allocated.
- On next calls : reuse the same ctx pointer.
- Use different pointers for different threads when doing multi-threading.
