LeakDetector is based on the implementation from leakdetector packge, which in turn is derived from the implementation of a leak detecktor in UBER's RIB framework.
In parallel to a RxSwift-based implementation, LeakDetectorCombine uses Combine framework to provide Combine-compatible APIs.
I accidently found another implementation of this LeakDetector from LifeCycleKit which shares many similar ideas. The implementation in LifeCycleKit has much nicer APIs though. So I recommend you to take a look at the implementation of the LeakDetector in LifeCycleKit as well.
There is a demo project to demostrate different use cases of the library.
This demo app focuses on common mistakes that could lead to retain cycles/memory leaks.
