NVIDIA-vBIOS-VFIO-Patcher VS sloc

https://gitlab.com/risingprismtv/single-gpu-passthrough/-/wikis/1)-Preparations and https://github.com/wabulu/Single-GPU-passthrough-amd-nvidia are what I used. I think your 1660 doesn't need to have the vBIOS edited. But you can always use https://github.com/Matoking/NVIDIA-vBIOS-VFIO-Patcher

I tried both including with and without the NVidia VBIOS VFIO patcher (https://github.com/Matoking/NVIDIA-vBIOS-VFIO-Patcher).

using a patched ROM from https://github.com/Matoking/NVIDIA-vBIOS-VFIO-Patcher (supports Maxwell-based GPUs fine)

In order to get the vBIOS I had to use NVFLASH, since my GPU model isn't on TechPowerUp. Initially I modded it manually with a hex editor, but after reading some posts I decided to try checking the rom using rom-parser, which told me that it was valid, and patching the rom with NVIDIA-vBIOS-VFIO-Patcher (At first this script was throwing an exception, but I got around it using --disable-footer-strip), after starting the VM with this new patched rom both my monitors turned black and I was forced to shutdown the PC. I also tried patching the only GTX950 Zotac ROM on TechPowerUp and using it but I get no display out.

Got it fixed. Seems like I have to use a custom VBIOS. The script is available in https://github.com/Matoking/NVIDIA-vBIOS-VFIO-Patcher

With long functions normally there comes large files as well. People tend to put everything into one file if they also put a lot into one function. So in theory we could take the lines of code as a measurement as well. There are a lot of utility packages out there that solve this problem. One of these tools is called sloc. It will output the number of lines of code within a file. But do not use it directly. The tool I mentioned before includes this by default.

The title of the stackexchange discussion is a little misleading. It really is: '"Hello, World" in what sloc thinks is zero lines of source code'

Most of the top solutions seem to take advantage of bugs in the way sloc tries to parse commented lines. e.g. many are ////

And I'm surprised I don't see a related bug issue in the git repo: https://github.com/flosse/sloc/issues

Still this is a fun read. I'm curious to see what other tricks are out there.
