+LZ4_compress() :

+ osize : is the output size, therefore the original size
+ return : the number of bytes read in the source buffer
+ If the source stream is malformed, the function will stop decoding and return a negative result, indicating the byte position of the faulty instruction
+ This function never writes outside of provided buffers, and never modifies input buffer.
+ note : destination buffer must be already allocated.
+ Provides the maximum size that LZ4 may output in a "worst case" scenario (input data not compressible)
+ primarily useful for memory allocation of output buffer.
+ inline function is recommended for the general case,
+ but macro is also provided when results need to be evaluated at compile time (such as table size allocation).
