How can you prevent memory leaks caused by closures holding large objects in Node.js?
AAvoid storing large objects in closure scopes unnecessarily
BUse global variables to store large objects
CCreate closures inside loops for better memory
DDisable garbage collection manually
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand closures and large objects

    Closures keep references to variables, so large objects stay in memory if closed over.
  2. Step 2: Prevent leaks by limiting closure scope

    Avoid storing large objects inside closures unless necessary.
  3. Final Answer:

    Avoid storing large objects in closure scopes unnecessarily -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Limit closure scope to prevent leaks [OK]
Quick Trick: Keep closures light to avoid memory leaks [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Using globals increases leaks
  • Creating closures in loops worsens leaks
  • Disabling GC is not possible
