I'm experiencing a rather odd circumstance and I'm looking for any advice on how to diagnose it or fix it. I'm implementing a sparse matrix solver, and I'm dividing up a matrix-vector product over a team of OpenMP threads using a do loop with static scheduling and balanced chunks of my matrix.
The problem is, my loop variable for the OpenMP do loop is getting optimized away when optimizations are turned on (-O1, -O2, -O3) and the loop is being run more times than intended.
In my debugging environment, I can only work with one thread ($OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 by admin), so this "loop" should behave like serial code. However, my debug messages indicate that my loop variable is going beyond 1, and idbc reports when I'm inside the loop
(idb) print i
Info: symbol i is defined but not allocated (optimized away)
Error: no value for symbol i
Cannot evaluate 'i'.
How should I go about figuring out what ifort has done in this optimization? Superficially, this acts like a bug, but I'm uncomfortable making that assertion without seeing exactly what the optimizations have done.
Thanks,
Jonathan
