phy-memory-leak-detector

separate

Static memory leak pattern scanner for Node.js, Python, Go, and Java. Analyzes source files to detect event listener leaks (addEventListener without corresponding removeEventListener), unbounded cache growth (Maps/objects grown in closures without eviction), setInterval/setTimeout references that prevent GC, large buffer allocations inside request handlers, global variable accumulation, circular reference patterns, and missing cleanup in class destructors/useEffect. For Node.js also runs --expose-gc heap snapshot diff (before/after load test) to confirm leaks at runtime. Zero external service — pure static analysis + optional local Node.js heap. Triggers on "memory leak", "heap growing", "OOM in production", "memory usage", "event listener leak", "setInterval not cleared", "/mem-leak".

When to use

• detect event listener leaks
• detect unbounded cache growth
• detect setInterval/setTimeout leaks
• detect large buffer allocations
• detect global variable accumulation
• detect circular reference patterns
• detect missing cleanup in class destructors/useEffect
• run Node.js heap snapshot diff
