Regarding the issue of failure in running due to errors during the conversion of `amg.c` into intermediate code

[Tiamomo]

Perhaps this is a strange question, and I am not sure if the project author is still actively involved in it, but I thought I would give it a try and inquire. Here's the situation: Firstly, I have successfully built the project using the make command. However, when I attempted to compile and run amg.c separately using different approaches (I am using the Clang compiler), I encountered the following issues:

1. amg.c can be successfully compiled into an executable file directly using Clang, and it can run smoothly. The command is as follows:
   clang -fopenmp -o test4 amg.c -I.. -I../utilities -I../IJ_mv -I../seq_mv -I../parcsr_mv -I../parcsr_ls -I../krylov -DTIMER_USE_MPI -DHYPRE_USING_OPENMP -DHYPRE_HOPSCOTCH -DHYPRE_USING_PERSISTENT_COMM -DHYPRE_BIGINT -DHYPRE_TIMING -lmpi -L. -L../parcsr_ls -L../parcsr_mv -L../IJ_mv -L../seq_mv -L../krylov -L../utilities -lparcsr_ls -lparcsr_mv -lseq_mv -lIJ_mv -lkrylov -lHYPRE_utilities -lm
2. However, when I followed the steps below to convert amg.c into an executable file, I encountered different errors during the execution:
   ①
   clang -S -emit-llvm -o amgtest.ll amgtest.c
clang amgtest.ll -fopenmp -DTIMER_USE_MPI -DHYPRE_USING_OPENMP -DHYPRE_HOPSCOTCH -DHYPRE_USING_PERSISTENT_COMM -DHYPRE_BIGINT -DHYPRE_TIMING -lmpi -L. -L../parcsr_ls -L../parcsr_mv -L../IJ_mv -L../seq_mv -L../krylov -L../utilities -lparcsr_ls -lparcsr_mv -lseq_mv -lIJ_mv -lkrylov -lHYPRE_utilities -lm -o test4 -g
mpirun -np 4 test4
   Output:
   
   ②
   clang -S -emit-llvm -o amgtest.ll amgtest.c
llvm-as amgtest.ll -o amgtest.bc
llc amgtest.bc -o amgtest.s
clang amgtest.s -no-pie -fopenmp -DTIMER_USE_MPI -DHYPRE_USING_OPENMP -DHYPRE_HOPSCOTCH -DHYPRE_USING_PERSISTENT_COMM -DHYPRE_BIGINT -DHYPRE_TIMING -lmpi -L. -L../parcsr_ls -L../parcsr_mv -L../IJ_mv -L../seq_mv -L../krylov -L../utilities -lparcsr_ls -lparcsr_mv -lseq_mv -lIJ_mv -lkrylov -lHYPRE_utilities -lm -o test4 -g
mpirun -np 4 test4
   Output:
   
   I identified the function where the error occurred through GDB debugging. After adding some debugging information, I found that the issue was related to the IJ_A structure.
   
   I suspect that the error occurred during the conversion of the amg.c code into intermediate code due to the complexity of the IJ_A structure. This may have resulted in some unexpected errors, leading to the final error. I have ruled out the issue of compiler versions (as I have tried Clang 3.8, Clang 4.0, and Clang 3.0). Could it be a problem with the code itself? Have the authors encountered similar errors before? (Since my current research is in code optimization/profiling, I need to manipulate the intermediate code of amg.c). Do you have any suggestions? Thank you very much!
