If you suspect a leak in the *C* part of your program or these libraries, then I am very successfully using valgrind on my OCaml (native) programs to track such leaks. https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/95123a9144edc1ddb3ad67d75276ca3af70eddb8/tests/extra/Makefile.am Note that several of the programs tested are written in OCaml, and see also the 'suppressions' file in the same directory. However this will not find leaks in OCaml code. Although I was pleasantly surprised the other day when valgrind pointed correctly to a use of an uninitialized string in some OCaml code.
