The Text field contains the comment text without carriage returns (\r) that
may have been present in the source. Because a comment's end position is
computed using len(Text), the position reported by [Comment.End] does not match the

entries of cmap for which a corresponding node exists in
the AST specified by node.

A Field represents a Field declaration list in a struct type,
a method list in an interface type, or a parameter/result declaration
in a signature.

NumFields returns the number of parameters or struct fields represented by a [FieldList].
(*FieldList) Pos() token.Pos
*FieldList : Node
A File node represents a Go source file.
The Comments list contains all comments in the source file in order of
appearance, including the comments that are pointed to from other nodes
via Doc and Comment fields.
For correct printing of source code containing comments (using packages
go/format and go/printer), special care must be taken to update comments
when a File's syntax tree is modified: For printing, comments are interspersed
between tokens based on their position. If syntax tree nodes are
removed or moved, relevant comments in their vicinity must also be removed
(from the [File.Comments] list) or moved accordingly (by updating their
positions). A [CommentMap] may be used to facilitate some of these operations.
Whether and how a comment is associated with a node depends on the
interpretation of the syntax tree by the manipulating program: except for Doc
and [Comment] comments directly associated with nodes, the remaining comments
are "free-floating" (see also issues [#18593], [#20744]).
// list of all comments in the source file
// top-level declarations; or nil
// associated documentation; or nil
// start and end of entire file
// start and end of entire file
// minimum Go version required by //go:build or // +build directives
// imports in this file
// package name
// position of "package" keyword
// package scope (this file only). Deprecated: see Object
// unresolved identifiers in this file. Deprecated: see Object
End returns the end of the last declaration in the file.
(Use FileEnd for the end of the entire file.)
Pos returns the position of the package declaration.
(Use FileStart for the start of the entire file.)

An Importer resolves import paths to package Objects.
The imports map records the packages already imported,
indexed by package id (canonical import path).
An Importer must determine the canonical import path and
check the map to see if it is already present in the imports map.
If so, the Importer can return the map entry. Otherwise, the
Importer should load the package data for the given path into
a new *[Object] (pkg), record pkg in the imports map, and then
return pkg.

An Object describes a named language entity such as a package,
constant, type, variable, function (incl. methods), or label.
The Data fields contains object-specific data:
Kind Data type Data value
Pkg *Scope package scope
Con int iota for the respective declaration
Deprecated: The relationship between Idents and Objects cannot be
correctly computed without type information. For example, the
expression T{K: 0} may denote a struct, map, slice, or array
literal, depending on the type of T. If T is a struct, then K
refers to a field of T, whereas for the other types it refers to a
value in the environment.
New programs should set the [parser.SkipObjectResolution] parser
flag to disable syntactic object resolution (which also saves CPU
and memory), and instead use the type checker [go/types] if object
resolution is desired. See the Defs, Uses, and Implicits fields of
the [types.Info] struct for details.
// object-specific data; or nil
// corresponding Field, XxxSpec, FuncDecl, LabeledStmt, AssignStmt, Scope; or nil
Kind ObjKind
// declared name
// placeholder for type information; may be nil
Pos computes the source position of the declaration of an object name.

A Scope maintains the set of named language entities declared
in the scope and a link to the immediately surrounding (outer)
scope.
Deprecated: use the type checker [go/types] instead; see [Object].
Objects map[string]*Object
Outer *Scope
Insert attempts to insert a named object obj into the scope s.
If the scope already contains an object alt with the same name,
Insert leaves the scope unchanged and returns alt. Otherwise

A Visitor's Visit method is invoked for each node encountered by [Walk].
If the result visitor w is not nil, [Walk] visits each of the children
of node with the visitor w, followed by a call of w.Visit(nil).

Package-Level Functions (total 21)
FileExports trims the AST for a Go source file in place such that
only exported nodes remain: all top-level identifiers which are not exported
and their associated information (such as type, initial value, or function
body) are removed. Non-exported fields and methods of exported types are
stripped. The [File.Comments] list is not changed.
FileExports reports whether there are exported declarations.
FilterDecl trims the AST for a Go declaration in place by removing
all names (including struct field and interface method names, but
not from parameter lists) that don't pass through the filter f.
FilterDecl reports whether there are any declared names left after
filtering.
FilterFile trims the AST for a Go file in place by removing all
names from top-level declarations (including struct field and
interface method names, but not from parameter lists) that don't
pass through the filter f. If the declaration is empty afterwards,
the declaration is removed from the AST. Import declarations are
always removed. The [File.Comments] list is not changed.
FilterFile reports whether there are any top-level declarations
left after filtering.
FilterPackage trims the AST for a Go package in place by removing
all names from top-level declarations (including struct field and
interface method names, but not from parameter lists) that don't
pass through the filter f. If the declaration is empty afterwards,
the declaration is removed from the AST. The pkg.Files list is not
changed, so that file names and top-level package comments don't get
lost.
FilterPackage reports whether there are any top-level declarations
left after filtering.
Fprint prints the (sub-)tree starting at AST node x to w.
If fset != nil, position information is interpreted relative
to that file set. Otherwise positions are printed as integer
values (file set specific offsets).
A non-nil [FieldFilter] f may be provided to control the output:
struct fields for which f(fieldname, fieldvalue) is true are
printed; all others are filtered from the output. Unexported
struct fields are never printed.
Inspect traverses an AST in depth-first order: It starts by calling
f(node); node must not be nil. If f returns true, Inspect invokes f
recursively for each of the non-nil children of node, followed by a
call of f(nil).
IsExported reports whether name starts with an upper-case letter.
IsGenerated reports whether the file was generated by a program,
not handwritten, by detecting the special comment described
at https://go.dev/s/generatedcode.
The syntax tree must have been parsed with the [parser.ParseComments] flag.
Example:
f, err := parser.ParseFile(fset, filename, src, parser.ParseComments|parser.PackageClauseOnly)
if err != nil { ... }
gen := ast.IsGenerated(f)
MergePackageFiles creates a file AST by merging the ASTs of the
files belonging to a package. The mode flags control merging behavior.
NewCommentMap creates a new comment map by associating comment groups
of the comments list with the nodes of the AST specified by node.
A comment group g is associated with a node n if:
- g starts on the same line as n ends
- g starts on the line immediately following n, and there is
at least one empty line after g and before the next node
- g starts before n and is not associated to the node before n
via the previous rules
NewCommentMap tries to associate a comment group to the "largest"
node possible: For instance, if the comment is a line comment
trailing an assignment, the comment is associated with the entire
assignment rather than just the last operand in the assignment.
NewIdent creates a new [Ident] without position.
Useful for ASTs generated by code other than the Go parser.
NewObj creates a new object of a given kind and name.
NewPackage creates a new [Package] node from a set of [File] nodes. It resolves
unresolved identifiers across files and updates each file's Unresolved list
accordingly. If a non-nil importer and universe scope are provided, they are
used to resolve identifiers not declared in any of the package files. Any
remaining unresolved identifiers are reported as undeclared. If the files
belong to different packages, one package name is selected and files with
different package names are reported and then ignored.
The result is a package node and a [scanner.ErrorList] if there were errors.
Deprecated: use the type checker [go/types] instead; see [Object].
NewScope creates a new scope nested in the outer scope.
NotNilFilter is a [FieldFilter] that returns true for field values
that are not nil; it returns false otherwise.
PackageExports trims the AST for a Go package in place such that
only exported nodes remain. The pkg.Files list is not changed, so that
file names and top-level package comments don't get lost.
PackageExports reports whether there are exported declarations;
it returns false otherwise.
Preorder returns an iterator over all the nodes of the syntax tree
beneath (and including) the specified root, in depth-first
preorder.
For greater control over the traversal of each subtree, use [Inspect].
Print prints x to standard output, skipping nil fields.
Print(fset, x) is the same as Fprint(os.Stdout, fset, x, NotNilFilter).
SortImports sorts runs of consecutive import lines in import blocks in f.
It also removes duplicate imports when it is possible to do so without data loss.
Unparen returns the expression with any enclosing parentheses removed.
Walk traverses an AST in depth-first order: It starts by calling
v.Visit(node); node must not be nil. If the visitor w returned by
v.Visit(node) is not nil, Walk is invoked recursively with visitor
w for each of the non-nil children of node, followed by a call of
w.Visit(nil).
