Hi,
My thoughts are not so fresh on that topic but, seeing the figures, it
could very well be that your memory leak is on the C side. Memory
allocated using malloc in C to Caml bindings won't show up in the Gc
info.
By the way, if you're sure that the leak is on the OCaml side, you
might be interested in ocaml-memprof. It's a patch by Fabrice Le
Fessant to get precise info about what kind of object is allocated by
the Gc over time. We've been able to use it a while ago on liquidsoap,
after Samuel Mimram adapted it for Ocaml 3.10 (you can find the
updated patch on his page).
Hope this helps,
David
