This preconditioner is very old and the code is barely maintained.
There is a newer implementation of the GDSW preconditioner in PCMG, see https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://petsc.org/release/manualpages/PC/PCMGSetAdaptCoarseSpaceType/__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!ZDnv3udGFNlZEC_MRfLAqwvcvCObnaAjMCeyaW__UaecBvN3MkXrzOPwJJUSHXo80-xOQdLNnSf_nLmUd7bZxg$
