LZ4_decompress_safe_partial() :
    This function decompress a compressed block of size 'inputSize' at position 'source'

    The function tries to stop decompressing operation as soon as 'targetOutputSize' has been reached,
    reducing decompression time.
    return : the number of bytes decoded in the destination buffer (necessarily <= maxOutputSize)
       Note : this number can be < 'targetOutputSize' should the compressed block to decode be smaller.
             Always control how many bytes were decoded.
             If the source stream is detected malformed, the function will stop decoding and return a negative result.

/* 
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 LZ4 Data Structure, thanks to the function :

void* LZ4_create (const char* inputBuffer);
The result of the function is the (void*) pointer on the LZ4 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_compress_continue() or LZ4_compress_limitedOutput_continue().
Their behavior are identical to LZ4_compress() or LZ4_compress_limitedOutput(), 
but require the LZ4 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_slideInputBuffer(void* LZ4_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_compress_continue() or LZ4_compress_limitedOutput_continue(), as usual.

When compression is completed, a call to LZ4_free() will release the memory used by the LZ4 Data Structure.
