The allocated memory can be provided to the compressions functions using 'void* state' parameter.
LZ4_compress_withStateHC() and LZ4_compress_limitedOutput_withStateHC() are equivalent to previously described functions.
They just use the externally allocated memory area instead of allocating their own (on stack, or on heap).

/*
These functions allow the compression of dependent blocks, where each block benefits from prior 64 KB within preceding blocks.
In order to achieve this, it is necessary to start creating the LZ4HC Data Structure, thanks to the function :

void* LZ4_createHC (const char* inputBuffer);
The result of the function is the (void*) pointer on the LZ4HC Data Structure.
This pointer will be needed in all other functions.
If the pointer returned is NULL, then the allocation has failed, and compression must be aborted.
The only parameter 'const char* inputBuffer' must, obviously, point at the beginning of input buffer.
The input buffer must be already allocated, and size at least 192KB.
'inputBuffer' will also be the 'const char* source' of the first block.

All blocks are expected to lay next to each other within the input buffer, starting from 'inputBuffer'.
To compress each block, use either LZ4_compressHC_continue() or LZ4_compressHC_limitedOutput_continue().
Their behavior are identical to LZ4_compressHC() or LZ4_compressHC_limitedOutput(),
but require the LZ4HC Data Structure as their first argument, and check that each block starts right after the previous one.
If next block does not begin immediately after the previous one, the compression will fail (return 0).

When it's no longer possible to lay the next block after the previous one (not enough space left into input buffer), a call to :
char* LZ4_slideInputBufferHC(void* LZ4HC_Data);
must be performed. It will typically copy the latest 64KB of input at the beginning of input buffer.
Note that, for this function to work properly, minimum size of an input buffer must be 192KB.
==> The memory position where the next input data block must start is provided as the result of the function.

Compression can then resume, using LZ4_compressHC_continue() or LZ4_compressHC_limitedOutput_continue(), as usual.

When compression is completed, a call to LZ4_freeHC() will release the memory used by the LZ4HC Data Structure.

int LZ4_sizeofStreamStateHC();
int LZ4_resetStreamStateHC(void* state, const char* inputBuffer);

/*
These functions achieve the same result as :
void* LZ4_createHC (const char* inputBuffer);

They are provided here to allow the user program to allocate memory using its own routines.

To know how much space must be allocated, use LZ4_sizeofStreamStateHC();
Note also that space must be aligned for pointers (32 or 64 bits).

Once space is allocated, you must initialize it using : LZ4_resetStreamStateHC(void* state, const char* inputBuffer);
void* state is a pointer to the space allocated.
It must be aligned for pointers (32 or 64 bits), and be large enough.
The parameter 'const char* inputBuffer' must, obviously, point at the beginning of input buffer.
The input buffer must be already allocated, and size at least 192KB.
'inputBuffer' will also be the 'const char* source' of the first block.

The same space can be re-used multiple times, just by initializing it each time with LZ4_resetStreamState().
return value of LZ4_resetStreamStateHC() must be 0 is OK.
Any other value means there was an error (typically, state is not aligned for pointers (32 or 64 bits)).
