Hello,

Here is another solution, based on oug[1]. The idea is to:
1. make oug analyse your source files and dump the result,
2. write a program loading the dump and performing the checks you want.

Here is an example, which performs 1. and 2., with only one source file 
"foo.ml".

=== myoug.ml
let (data, _) = Ouglib.Analyze.analyze ["foo.ml"];;

let number_variants =
  Ouglib.Lang.filter_elements data
    (Ouglib.Lang.Name
     {
       Ouglib.Lang.sel_name = "Foo.number.*" ;
       sel_kind = [ Ouglib.Data.Type_field ] ;
     }
    )
;;

let numbers_list_id =
  match
    Ouglib.Lang.filter_elements data
      (Ouglib.Lang.Name
       {
         Ouglib.Lang.sel_name = "Foo.numbers" ;
         sel_kind = [ Ouglib.Data.Value ] ;
       }
      )
  with
    [id] -> id
  | _ -> assert false
;;

let graph = data.Ouglib.Data.graph ;;
let created_by_numbers_list =
  let l = Ouglib.Graph.succ graph numbers_list_id in
  let f acc (id, k) =
    match k with
      Ouglib.Data.Create -> id :: acc
    | _ -> acc
  in
  List.fold_left f [] l
;;

let (_,missing) =
  List.partition (fun id -> List.mem id created_by_numbers_list) number_variants
;;

match missing with
  [] -> exit 0
| _ ->
    let b = Buffer.create 256 in
    Ouglib.Dump.print_element_list data b  missing;
    prerr_endline
      (Printf.sprintf "The following constructors are not present in 
Foo.numbers:\n%s"
       (Buffer.contents b)
      );
    exit 1
;;
=== /myoug.ml ==

=== foo.ml ===
type number = One | Two | Three | Four;;

let numbers = [ One, 1 ; Two, 2 ];;
=== /foo.ml ==

Compilation of myoug.ml to myoug.x:
# ocamlc -I +oug str.cma toplevellib.cma oug.cma -o myoug.x myoug.ml 

Launching myoug.x gives the following:
The following constructors are not present in Foo.numbers:
f Foo.number.Three
f Foo.number.Four

Of course, you can adapt the program to fit your needs: have a makefile
target to create the oug dump and use this dump in various checking
programs, or in one program performing various checks.

Hope this helps,

Maxence
