🧠 ML AutoFix Quick Start

🌟 World First: Experience the only system that uses machine learning to automatically fix memory leaks in real-time, not just detect them.

Instant ML Protection (2 Lines)

import memguard # Revolutionary ML autofix protection memguard.protect() # AI learns your app and fixes leaks automatically # Your application runs here while AI protects it # ✨ File handles -> Auto-closed by ML algorithms # ✨ Socket leaks -> Auto-detected & fixed by AI # ✨ 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}%") print(f"ML Patterns Learned: {status.get('patterns_learned', 0)}")

Advanced ML Configuration

import memguard # Advanced ML configuration for complex applications memguard.protect( monitoring_mode="hybrid", # AI chooses optimal scan modes threshold_mb=100, # Memory threshold poll_interval_s=60 # Check every minute ) # Advanced AI reporting with real API report = memguard.analyze() print(f"Health Score: {report.health_score}/100") print(f"Scan Count: {report.scan_count}") print(f"Findings: {len(report.findings)}")

Production-Grade ML Deployment

import memguard # Production deployment with full ML capabilities memguard.protect_production( app_name="my-critical-app" ) # Real-time ML insights performance = memguard.get_performance_summary() print(f"Performance Impact: {performance.get('overhead_pct', 0):.2f}%") # Manual cleanup when needed files_cleaned = memguard.manual_cleanup_files(max_age_seconds=300) print(f"Files automatically cleaned: {files_cleaned}")
🧠 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 asyncio_guard.install_asyncio_guard() # Async task protection # Get detailed tracking info file_info = file_guard.get_tracked_files_info() print(f"Files tracked: {len(file_info)}")

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() print(f"Current overhead: {status['performance_stats']['overhead_percentage']:.2f}%")
