# ✨ Cache explosions -> Auto-limited by ML patterns
# ✨ Memory cycles -> Auto-broken by intelligent analysis
# Get intelligent analysis
status = memguard.get_status()
print(f"AI Overhead: {status['performance_stats']['overhead_percentage']:.2f}%")

🧠 ML Advantage: Unlike traditional tools that only detect, MemGuard's ML algorithms learn your application patterns and automatically prevent and fix leaks in real-time.
🚀 Revolutionary ML Features
MemGuard represents a breakthrough in memory management technology - the world's first system to use machine learning for automatic leak prevention and fixing.
🧠 Adaptive Learning Engine
Advanced ML algorithms that learn your application's unique memory patterns:
# The ML engine automatically adapts to your application
from memguard.adaptive_learning import AdaptiveLearningEngine
# AI learns file usage patterns
learning_engine = AdaptiveLearningEngine()
learning_engine.observe_file_behavior('/path/to/file')
# ML makes intelligent cleanup decisions
should_cleanup = learning_engine.should_cleanup_file(file_path)
print(f"ML Recommendation: {should_cleanup}")
📊 Advanced Statistical Sampling
Sophisticated mathematical models for precision monitoring:
from memguard.sampling import get_sampler, get_memory_tracker
# Advanced statistical sampling (<3% overhead)
sampler = get_sampler(rate=0.05) # 5% intelligent sampling
memory_tracker = get_memory_tracker()
# Real-time performance tracking
current_memory = memory_tracker.get_current_memory_mb()
print(f"Memory Usage: {current_memory}MB")
🔬 Intelligent Pattern Recognition
AI identifies complex leak patterns that traditional tools miss:
# Advanced detection capabilities
import memguard
# AI-powered detection of multiple leak types
report = memguard.analyze()
for finding in report.findings:
print(f"Pattern: {finding.pattern_name}")
print(f"Severity: {finding.severity}")
print(f"AI Confidence: {finding.confidence:.2f}")
print(f"Root Cause: {finding.description}")
🕰️ Runtime Code Analysis
Dynamic bytecode inspection and dependency analysis:
# Real-time code analysis
from memguard.guards import file_guard, socket_guard, asyncio_guard
# Multi-layer protection system
file_guard.install_file_guard() # File handle protection
socket_guard.install_socket_guard() # Network resource protection

# Sampling Architecture
from memguard.sampling import get_sampler, get_memory_tracker
# Intelligent sampling strategies:
# • Stratified sampling for representative coverage
# • Adaptive sampling rates based on system load

🔧 Troubleshooting & Support
🌟 Open Source Advantage: Get direct access to the creator Kyle Clouthier for technical support, consulting, and collaboration opportunities.
Common Issues & Solutions
High CPU Usage: Adjust monitoring_mode to "light" or increase poll_interval_s.
For production, use monitoring_mode="hybrid" and poll_interval_s=60.
Import Errors: Ensure you have installed MemGuard correctly:
pip install memguard
or pip install -e .
from source.
No Leaks Detected: Try lowering threshold_mb or using monitoring_mode="deep"
for more thorough scanning during testing.
Permission Issues: On some systems, file monitoring may require elevated
permissions. Try running with appropriate user permissions.
Performance Optimization
# Optimize for your environment
# For high-throughput applications
memguard.protect(
monitoring_mode="light", # Minimal overhead
threshold_mb=200, # Higher threshold
poll_interval_s=120 # Less frequent checks
)
# For memory-sensitive applications
memguard.protect(
monitoring_mode="hybrid", # Balanced approach
threshold_mb=50, # Lower threshold
poll_interval_s=30 # More frequent monitoring
)
# Check current performance impact
status = memguard.get_status()
