If by "in a same time" you mean "sequentially in the same program",
then the answer is yes.

If by "in a same time" you mean "in parallel by 2 different threads in
the same program", then the answer is "it depends":
 - with the old API, it won't work well if you use feedback
   piggybacking (the decompressor updates the compressor without any
   protection).
 - with the new API (ready in 1.7.x or greater), it should
   work in all cases (if you add the correct protections such as
   mutexes in your program when needed).

The new API avoids any direct communication between compressor and
decompressor, so that developers may control how the communication is
performed (add proper locking between threads for example).

Functions that are part of the old API are marked as deprecated in the
doxygen documentation and in the source code. Build your code with
-Wdeprecated to be warned when you use the old API.

Regards,
Didier
