You need to tell the GC the address (outside the heap) where the Caml value is stored, using register_global_root(). When the external data structure is no longer relevant, or is about to be freed, call remove_global_root() to tell the GC that the global root is no longer there, thus allowing the GC to reclaim the corresponding Caml data structure. - Xavier Leroy
