"""An implementation of the Quine McCluskey algorithm.
This implementation of the Quine McCluskey algorithm has no inherent limits
(other than the calculation time) on the size of the inputs.
Also, in the limited tests of the author of this module, this implementation is
considerably faster than other public Python implementations for non-trivial
inputs.
Another unique feature of this implementation is the possibility to use the XOR
and XNOR operators, in addition to the normal AND operator, to minimise the
terms. This slows down the algorithm, but in some cases it can be a big win in
terms of complexity of the output.

inverse of binary minimisation methonds such as Karnaugh maps, Quine
McCluskey or Espresso. It takes as input a minterm and generates all
possible maxterms from it. Inputs and outputs are strings.
Possible input characters:
'0': the bit at this position will always be zero.
'1': the bit at this position will always be one.
'-': don't care: this bit can be zero or one.
'^': all bits with the caret are XOR-ed together.
'~': all bits with the tilde are XNOR-ed together.
Algorithm description:
This lovely piece of spaghetti code generates all possibe
permutations of a given string describing logic operations.
This could be achieved by recursively running through all
possibilities, but a more linear approach has been preferred.
The basic idea of this algorithm is to consider all bit
positions from 0 upwards (direction = +1) until the last bit
position. When the last bit position has been reached, then the
generated string is yielded. At this point the algorithm works
its way backward (direction = -1) until it finds an operator
like '-', '^' or '~'. The bit at this position is then flipped
(generally from '0' to '1') and the direction flag again
inverted. This way the bit position pointer (i) runs forth and
back several times until all possible permutations have been
generated.
When the position pointer reaches position -1, all possible
combinations have been visited.
