A rust implementation of a brute-force pcp solution searcher. A problem is read from standard input or a file specified on the command line (see Usage for more details).
A problem file consists of any number of (utf-8 encoded) lines, each non-empty line representing a pair of words, consisting of two whitespace-separated fields, each of which denotes one word of the pair.
Words may consist of any number of non-whitespace unicode characters, each unique character will be replaced by a unique fixed-width bit pattern. The total number of bits per word must not exceed 56.
See the *.pcp files in the root directory for example problem specifications. The wiki*.pcp files were taken from the german wikipedia, homework.pcp was taken from an exercise of my theoretical computer science classhomework.pcp has been since first publishing this repo removed).

You need a recent nightly version of rust to compile this crate. You can then install it using cargo install pcp. If you install from source make sure to compile with --release!
