 * @brief Generator program module.
 *
 * The generator program takes a graph as input. The program repeatedly generates a random solution
 * to the problem as described on the first page and writes its result to the circular buffer. It repeats this
 * procedure until it is notified by the supervisor to terminate.
 * The generator program takes as arguments the set of edges of the graph.
 * Each positional argument is one edge; at least one edge must be given. An edge is specified by a string,
 * with the indices of the two nodes it connects separated by a -. Since the graph is directed, the edge starts
 * at the first node and leads to the second node. Note that the number of nodes of the graph is implicitly
 * provided through the indices in the edges. In the example above the generator program is called with
 * the graph shown on the first page.
 * The generator uses the algorithm described on the first page to generate random feedback arc sets for the
 * given graph. It writes these feedback arc sets to the circular buffer, one at a time; therefore a feedback
 * arc set is a single element of the circular buffer. The generator may produce debug output, describing
 * the feedback arc sets which it writes to the circular buffer.
 *
 *   SYNOPSIS
 *   generator EDGE1 EDGE2 ...
 *
 *   EXAMPLE
 *   generator 0-1 1-2 1-3 1-4 2-4 3-6 4-3 4-5 6-0
