If fileSet != nil, +ParseFile first adds filename and src to fileSet. + +The filename argument is optional and is used for labelling errors, etc. + +src may be a string, a byte slice, a bytes.Buffer, or an io.Reader, but it MUST +always be in UTF-8. + + // Parse some JavaScript, yielding a *ast.Program and/or an ErrorList + program, err := parser.ParseFile(nil, "", `if (abc > 1) {}`, 0) + +#### func ParseFunction + +```go +func ParseFunction(parameterList, body string) (*ast.FunctionLiteral, error) +``` +ParseFunction parses a given parameter list and body as a function and returns +the corresponding ast.FunctionLiteral node. + +The parameter list, if any, should be a comma-separated list of identifiers. + +#### func ReadSource + +```go +func ReadSource(filename string, src interface{}) ([]byte, error) +``` + +#### func TransformRegExp + +```go +func TransformRegExp(pattern string) (string, error) +``` +TransformRegExp transforms a JavaScript pattern into a Go "regexp" pattern. + +re2 (Go) cannot do backtracking, so the presence of a lookahead (?=) (?!) or +backreference (\1, \2, ...) will cause an error. + +re2 (Go) has a different definition for \s: [\t\n\f\r ]. The JavaScript +definition, on the other hand, also includes \v, Unicode "Separator, Space", +etc. + +If the pattern is invalid (not valid even in JavaScript), then this function +returns the empty string and an error. + +If the pattern is valid, but incompatible (contains a lookahead or +backreference), then this function returns the transformation (a non-empty +string) AND an error. + +#### type Error + +```go +type Error struct { + Position file.Position + Message string +} +``` + +An Error represents a parsing error. It includes the position where the error +occurred and a message/description. + +#### func (Error) Error + +```go +func (self Error) Error() string +``` + +#### type ErrorList + +```go +type ErrorList []*Error +``` + +ErrorList is a list of *Errors. + +#### func (*ErrorList) Add + +```go +func (self *ErrorList) Add(position file.Position, msg string) +``` +Add adds an Error with given position and message to an ErrorList. + +#### func (ErrorList) Err + +```go +func (self ErrorList) Err() error +``` +Err returns an error equivalent to this ErrorList. If the list is empty, Err +returns nil. + +#### func (ErrorList) Error + +```go +func (self ErrorList) Error() string +``` +Error implements the Error interface. + +#### func (ErrorList) Len + +```go +func (self ErrorList) Len() int +``` + +#### func (ErrorList) Less + +```go +func (self ErrorList) Less(i, j int) bool +``` + +#### func (*ErrorList) Reset + +```go +func (self *ErrorList) Reset() +``` +Reset resets an ErrorList to no errors. + +#### func (ErrorList) Sort + +```go +func (self ErrorList) Sort() +``` + +#### func (ErrorList) Swap + +```go +func (self ErrorList) Swap(i, j int) +``` + +#### type Mode + +```go +type Mode uint +``` + +A Mode value is a set of flags (or 0).
