When searching for interfaces, the libstlink is not unreferencing the probed USB devices when no ST-LINK programmer was found, leading to "libsub_devices were leaked" warnings, as shown below:

This warning is evidenced when using the libstlink to poll for ST-LINK interfaces on Windows (I am developing an application that waits for a ST-LINK programmer to be connected.)
