Good to be able to remove this compilation-time configuration.

Maybe add "_COUNT" at the end to make clear it is not about the size of a memzone.
We should add a comment here to explain the meaning of this default:
used until the "set" function is called.

We should keep "maximum" on the first line to ease "grep" in the code.

An error log would be needed here I think.

Better to use "== NULL" for pointers.

Do we need an error log as well?

Same comment as above: don't use boolean operator for pointer or value.

Uppercase for first work, and we may remove "allowed"?
Suggestion: "Maximum number of allocated memzones."

Add a dot at the end.
Instead of "value", we should mention "number" or "count".

Good, thank you.
