conditions precedence in 'if'

[Mahmood Naderan <nt_mahmood@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all, 

First consider this: 
bool flag = false; 
while (condition) { 
   ... 
   if ( !flag && ANOTHER_CONDITION ) { 
      .... 
   } 
}
If the "while" loop iterates for 10 times, the both flag and ANOTHER_CONDITION 
are checked 10 times. 


Now consider this: 
bool flag = false; 
while (condition) { 
   ... 
   if ( !flag && ANOTHER_CONDITION ) { 
      .... 
      flag = true; 
   } 
}
If the "while" loop iterates for 10 times and in the first iteration "flag = 
true;" is executed, then how many times, ANOTHER_CONDITION is checked? 1 or 10?

How does GCC-4.1.3 act to condition precedences?
