// ParseFile parses the source code of a single Go source file and returns

// the filename of the source file, or via the src parameter.

// only used when recording position information. The type of the argument
// for the src parameter must be string, []byte, or [io.Reader].
// If src == nil, ParseFile parses the file specified by filename.
//
// The mode parameter controls the amount of source text parsed and
// other optional parser functionality. If the [SkipObjectResolution]
// mode bit is set (recommended), the object resolution phase of
// parsing will be skipped, causing File.Scope, File.Unresolved, and
// all Ident.Obj fields to be nil. Those fields are deprecated; see
// [ast.Object] for details.
