NAME

       TAU_PHASE_START - Enters a phase.

SYNOPSIS

       C/C++:

       TAU_PHASE_START(Phase phase);

       Fortran:

       TAU_PHASE_START(integer phase(2));

DESCRIPTION

       TAU_PHASE_START enters a phase. Phases can be nested, but not overlapped.

EXAMPLE

       C/C++ :

       int f2(void)
       {
         TAU_PHASE_CREATE_STATIC(t2,"IO Phase", "", TAU_USER);
         TAU_PHASE_START(t2);
         input();
         output();
         TAU_PHASE_STOP(t2);
         return 0;
       }

       Fortran :

       subroutine F2()

         integer phase(2) / 0, 0 /
         save    phase

         call TAU_PHASE_CREATE_STATIC(phase,'IO Phase')
         call TAU_PHASE_START(phase)

         call INPUT()
         call OUTPUT()

         call TAU_PHASE_STOP(phase)
       end
