The directives can not be simply translated into function calls. OpenMP
effectively "rewrites" the program in order to support variable scoping,
locking, and thread creation; in essence, the parser needs to analyze
the code within the OpenMP block and write new, equivalent, parallel
code. I posted examples of this earlier.
