How can I fix memory leaks in my application?

To fix memory leaks, you should first identify where they occur. Tools like Valgrind or memory profilers can help.

What are some common causes of memory leaks?

Common causes include not releasing memory after use, circular references, and global variables holding onto objects.

Can you give me an example of how to use a memory profiler?

Sure! If you're using Node.js, you can use the built-in profiler by running your app with the --inspect flag and then analyzing the memory snapshots.

Are there any best practices to prevent memory leaks?

Yes! Always release resources, avoid global variables, and use weak references when appropriate.
