| * - The function is always blocking, returns when compression is completed. | ||
| * Hint : compression runs faster if `dstCapacity` >= `ZSTD_compressBound(srcSize)`. | ||
| * NOTE: Providing `dstCapacity >= ZSTD_compressBound(srcSize)` guarantees that zstd will have | ||

What other reasons do you have in mind ?
Memory allocation failures ?
Providing dstCapacity >= ZSTD_compressBound(srcSize) should be enough to avoid #3524.

I mean ZSTD_compress2() can let you specify a lot of options. E.g. compression could fail to allocate a thread. We could run out of memory.
I only mentioned this in ZSTD_compress2(), and skipped it in ZSTD_compress(), but I just mean that you still have to check the error code.
