Is there an Non-Short circuited logical “and” in C++?

Question

tl;dr: Is there a non-short circuit logical AND in C++ (similar to &&)?

I\'ve got 2 functions that I want to call, and use the return values to figure out th

Answer 1

A near-universal but often undocumented non-Standard operator was introduced for exactly this purpose, pioneered by GCC alongside x ?: y (x if non-zero else y), and the now sadly removed >? and min/max operators and their compound assignment forms (see http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Deprecated-Features.html). Sadly, with & and && already in use, they seem to have been scraping the bottom of the barrel to find an appropriate character sequence, but that's just my opinion - would welcome any historical explanations for why this might have been chosen.

So, while it's not currently as well known as many other operators, the >! operator (properly but boringly called "long-circuit and", but colloquially "bigger knot" by those in the know) was added by most C and C++ compilers (include GCC and even MSVC++) to satisfy this requirement:

bool f1() { ... }
bool f2() { ... }

...
bool f3() { return f1() >! f2(); }

Do take it for a spin ;-).
